Re: Emacs problem after rebaseall: some progresses?
WUAU!!! Thx a lot. You must be some kind of genius to find such a think. I had a problem because xmgrace doesnt open. So i make a rebaseall that solved the problem but emacs stop of work. I almost reinstall. thx a lot. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

Rebasing all and then reinstalling a package that has just rebased : is it a valid procedure? Sure, this is fine. But what you're really saying is that one of the dlls in libncurses7 used by xemacs /usr/bin/cygform7.dll /usr/bin/cygmenu7.dll /usr/bin/cygncurses7.dll /usr/bin/cygpanel7.dll is not rebase-able. I'm not clear on the history; there was a time when a number of DLLs were considered not rebase-able but I don't remember why, or whether the issue was ever fixed (in rebase.exe, or in the DLLs themselves). *I* wonder, if xemacs were rebuilt against the CURRENT ncurses libraries (libncurses8), would it still have similar problems -- e.g. would you need to rebaseall and then reinstall libncursesEIGHT? If so, it's a problem I need to track down, as the ncurses maintainer. If not, then the XEmacs maintainer should simply release a new version, recompiled against the new ncurses. -- Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

Even using the snapshots, the problem remains and every time one needs to rebase all one must reinstall libncurses7-5.3-4 if one wants Emacs to work. In any case I am on the alert to see what cause that.

Fine, Emacs, XEmacs, whatever. That's not the point The problem. There are applications that need rebasing (... unable to remap...). But after rebasing all, Emacs does not show its window and take almost 100% of CPU (one can only kill it). If one reinstall libncurses7-5.3-4, Emacs works again as it should. For what I know, Emacs is the only X application that has this problem. And, is it the only X application that links against an obsolete version of the ncurses library? e.g. is it simply that cygncurses-7.dll cannot be rebased without causing troubles for client apps -- and cygncurses-8.dll, used by all other X apps, is fine? The *E*macs maintainer should relink/rebuild *E*macs against cygncurses-8.dll, rebase, and see if the problem (e.g. the necessity of undoing the rebase of cygncurses-8.dll by reinstalling that package) remains. If the new *E*macs works with a rebased cygncurses-8.dll, then the problem is solved: cygncurses-7.dll is broken, and if it weren't obsolete it should be fixed. But, since it IS obsolete... Now, if the *E*macs maintainer does all this and the problem remains -- after rebasing, *E*macs is broken unless cygncurses-8.dll is reinstalled -- THEN we'll have something to talk about. -- Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

Since this has nothing to do with Cygwin, AFAICT, there is no reason to think that a snapshot would fix the problem. I do not doubt that it is so. The first time I observed these problems with Emacs was when Cygwin-1.5-17-1 was released: reinstalling 1.5.16-1 all worked fine and I thinked that some snaps solved the problem. Successively I found that reinstalling libncurses7, effectively, solve the problem. But the habit to test snapshots remains!

I cannot answer to these questions. I can only confirm that for what I know only Emacs has these problems.
