You should be able to byte-compile icicles.el; I do. I byte-compiled it just
now, starting from emacs -Q. I even downloaded it from the wiki, to make
sure the wiki copy was not corrupted. It works for me, using GNU Emacs
22.1.50.1 built on 2007-05-22. It also byte-compiles OK for me using other
Emacs 22 builds, Emacs 21.3.1, and Emacs 20.7.

To byte-compile icicles.el, you first need to load the other Icicles files -
the byte compiler tells you that, if you try compiling without loading the
needed files.

You will need to provide more information if you expect help. Please see the
questions in my previous email. Did you start from emacs -Q? It sounds as if
there might be something wrong with your Emacs environment (e.g. something
in your .emacs or custom file that is causing trouble), or perhaps one of
the Icicles files you downloaded is corrupted.

Feel free to take this discussion off list, unless you really think there is
value in sharing it with others.
