Hi,
I installed the package for emacs-20.6 on my machine running
FreeBSD-4.0-RELEASE and it core dumps upon issuing the command 'emacs -nw'.
This package was obtained from:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.0-RELEASE/packages/All/emacs-20.6.tgz
However, it runs fine if I instead install the package from:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/3.4-STABLE/packages/All/emacs-20.6.tgz
The difference between the above two packages seems to be that the former
links against libc.so.4 while the latter links against libc.so.3 (in
/usr/lib/compat). It seems that libc.so.4 in FreeBSD-4.0-RELEASE has some bugs.
I also downloaded emacs-20.6 from:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/emacs-20.6.tar.gz
and compiled it. It has the same 'core dump' problem - it also links against
libc.so.4.
Here's the output of 'uname -a' for my machine:
