errors in using cc-mode version 5.28

[Alexander C. <jal...@ho...>]

I followed the instructions for installation including the pathing of
the cc-mode directory in the ~/.emacs file:

(setq load-path (cons "/usr/local/lib/xemacs-21.4.4/cc-mode-5.28" 
load-path))
(load-library "/usr/local/lib/xemacs-21.4.4/cc-mode-5.28/cc-mode")

But when I run xemacs with a C source code file, I get this error in the
status line:

File mode specification error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)

My guess is that this resulted from the cc-* elisp files not have been
read in properly as xemacs came up. And I know that that was so because
if I M-x c- and hit tab I get an error beep.

My workaround is to do a manual M-x load-library cc-mode, then M-x c-mode,
then M-x font-lock-fontify-buffer. But this is such a big pain to do for
each and every source and header file I load every time I load them.

Has anyone seen this before, and if so, what's the correct solution, i.e.,
how do I make the cc-*.elc files get loaded in properly every time I bring
up xemacs?

Thanks in advance.
Alex
