I just installed several parts of the new XFree86 3.3 packages
including xlib6. xemacs will no longer start up. The versions of
packages are
ii xemacs1919.15-3XEmacs 19.15 editor and kitchen sink
ii xemacs19-suppor 19.15-3Support files for XEmacs 19.15.
ii xemacs19-suppor 19.15-3el library files for XEmacs 19.15.
ii xlib6 3.3-1 Shared libraries required by X clients
Is anyone else encountering this problem or is it something peculiar
to my system? The gory details are shown below. I wanted to find out
if this was reproducible on other systems before reporting it to
xemacs.org
$ xemacs
Fatal error (11).
Your files have been auto-saved.
Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them.
Please report this bug to the address [EMAIL PROTECTED]'.
*MAKE SURE* to include as much configuration information as
possible; at the very least what OS and hardware you are running
on, and hopefully also what compiler and compiler options the
binary was compiled with, what options XEmacs was compiled with,
whether you are using a prebuilt binary from ftp.xemacs.org or
compiled XEmacs yourself for your system, etc.
If at all possible, *please* try to obtain a C stack backtrace;
it will help us immensely in determining what went wrong.
To do this, locate the core file that was produced as a result
of this crash (it's usually called `core' and is located in the
directory in which you started XEmacs, or maybe in your home
directory), and type
gdb /usr/bin/xemacs core
then type `where' when the debugger prompt comes up.
(If you don't have GDB on your system, you might have DBX,
or XDB, or SDB. A similar procedure should work for all of
these. Ask your system administrator if you need more help.)
Lisp backtrace follows:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
