Hi,
I am a heavy user of xemacs for programming and I have a severe problems with all versions of xemacs beyond 21.4.9 (quite a while ago!). Each time I upgrade xemacs I get into this problem. I have the latest (20040202-1) sumo package installed as well.
The problem is the following: when I program with fortran 90, and add a keyword like "IF (cond) THEN" the fontlock (coloring of keywords...) should change IF and THEN from black to pink. But what happens at random is that xemacs crashes. It makes it almost impossible to program. It depends on what is before and after. I think it is a bug in xemacs, not a fink problem, but I wonder if any body has experience it with other languages like C.... Right now I returned to xemacs 21.4.9 that I have faithfully saved (compiled under 10.2, woeks like a charm!)
Paul: Attached is an .info file for xemacs 21.4.15 (the latest stable version). Put it in you /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo/editors (make the directory if you don't have one), add "local/main" to Trees in /sw/etc/fink.conf, and "fink update xemacs". If it fixes your problem, I'll add it to CVS. BTW: the only reason fink's xemacs is the beta version (21.5.X) is because at the time I added the package, the stable version wouldn't work. Perhaps it's time make the stable version the default.
