Installing gnuserv

From MyWiki

I didn't actually get this working, but here is as far as I got...

1. Download gnuserv from http://meltin.net/hacks/emacs/ Direct link
2. Unpack: tar xvfz gnuserv-3.12.7.tar.gz
3. cd gnuserv-3.12.7
4. ./configure --x-includes=/usr/local/include --x-libraries=/usr/local/lib
5. make
6. make install
7. cp devices.el gnuserv-compat.el gnuserv.el /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/

Elisp code:

(require 'gnuserv-compat)
(require 'gnuserv)
(gnuserv-start)

At this point running gnuclient fails with the following error:

error in process filter: Wrong number of arguments: (lambda (&optional tty term\inal-type) "Create a new device on TTY.
  TTY should be the name of a tty device file (e.g. \"/dev/ttyp3\" under
SunOS et al.), as returned by the `tty' command.  A value of nil means
use the stdin and stdout as passed to XEmacs from the shell.

This was with:
