I worked it out so:


                .....................................

See:
http://www.gnus.org/distribution.html


--------
Download:
--------

download and install emacs cvs;

be sure you have cvs 1.8 or newer installed;

from the '~/' directory (or whatever you want) do:

    $ cvs -d :pserver:gnus@cvs.gnus.org:/usr/local/cvsroot login
    CVS password: gnus
    $ cvs -d :pserver:gnus@cvs.gnus.org:/usr/local/cvsroot checkout gnus
     
A '~/gnus' directory will be created, you can then rename to whatever you want 
-- like, for instance, pgnus. 



------------
Installation:
------------

from '~/gnus' do:

$ ./configure && make

. In .emacs put the following:


------------------------------------------------------------------
(setq load-path (cons (expand-file-name "~/gnus/lisp") load-path)) 
 (require 'gnus-load) 
 

(require 'info) 
 (setq Info-default-directory-list 
       (cons "~/gnus/texi" Info-default-directory-list))
------------------------------------------------------------------



*Don't* remove the ~/gnus directory!


------
Update:
------

from the '~/gnus' dir, do: 

    $ cvs update
                        .........................
