Hmm... here's what my XEmacs (21.4.17) says after IDLWAVE loads:

=================
`cancel-timer' is a compiled Lisp function
-- loaded from "timer"
(cancel-timer TIMER)

Documentation:
Remove TIMER from the list of active timers.
==================

It is from the "timer.el" file which is part of the fsf-compat package (or
should be). Maybe check to see if you have that file in your package? You
might force it to be loaded by putting:

(require 'timer)

in your .emacs (or .xemacs/init.el), but that shouldn't strictly be
necessary, if the autoloads are setup correctly. Let me know if this
does the trick, and I may throw a (require 'timer) in.

There problem is still the same even I installed the Xemacs21 again.
The fsf-compat
is already included. I try to replace it with fsf-compat in sumo emacs
package, and the
error is still the same. Only if I get rid of fsf-compat package, I can
get the error
"Symbol's function is void: overlayp", otherwise I only get the error
itimer "run-with-idle-timer" signaled: (void-fuction cancel-timer)

Any hints to solve the problem? I am using debian system. Thanks!

You need the fsf-compat package to be compatible with FSF Emacs and to get
IDLWAVE to run properly. You can either get that from a sumo emacs, or
install the package separately, available where you got XEmacs. This is
the same issue as the "Symbol's function is void: overlayp" XEmacs error.

I've made the website and INSTALL file more explicit since there seems
to be a large number of XEmacs distributions without fsf-compat bundled
these days. I also update the FAQ with this error.

Yes! That's it. After I add (require 'timer) in .xemacs/custom.el,
IDLWAVE works now. Thanks!
