[Success] 21.0 "Erzgeberg" XEmacs Lucid on i686-pc-linux 26 years, 3 months

Mauro Condarelli

A couple of "strange things" === 1 I had to configure with "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ./configure" to avoid the following error: -------------------------------------------------------------------- WARNING: Compiling without PNG image support. Reason: PNG library version and header file don't match! WARNING: You should strongly consider installing the PNG libraries. WARNING: Otherwise certain images and glyphs may not display. WARNING: (a copy may be found in ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/aux) -------------------------------------------------------------------- - I'm using a fairly standard debian-hamm distribution. - I have libpng-1.0.1 installed from debian - I installed libpng-1.0.2 in /usr/local - I did *not* remove the old lib (in/usr/lib) to keep dselect happy Can someone divine what's wrong in my setup? === 2 Some minibuffer prompts (ediff-directories prompt for the directories to compare is a good example) flatly refuse to scroll when the end of line is reached. The cursor stays at the end of the line and I have either to type blindly or enlarge the window to see whet I'm typing. Minibuffer seems to know quite well there's something there and correctly keeps track of typed chars (it even puts the right-arrow in the last char if i put the cursor in some other window), but stays anchored to the beginning of the string. The cursor stays full (indicating not-at-end-of-line) and remains on the last char of the line. Blind insertion happens in "the right place" (not where the cursor is. This is a partcular nuissance when You have long prompts. This behaviour is present from several releases, I'm not sure when it began. Any idea? === 3 Thanks in Advance ! :) > XEmacs Build Report as generated > by build-report-version 1.35 follows: > Contents of /usr/local/src/cvs/xemacs/xemacs-21/Installation: > (Output from most recent run of ./configure) uname -a: Linux Thor 2.0.34 #1 Thu May 14 09:51:39 CEST 1998 i686 unknown ./configure XEmacs 21.0 "Erzgeberg" configured for `i686-pc-linux'.

lesstif dialog-boxes too wide 26 years, 3 months

Kai Haberzettl

I have lesstif 0.85.3 installed and XEmacs is compiled with-dialog-boxes=motif. The dialog-boxes i get, e.g. when exiting XEmacs by closing the window, are too wide and exceed the screen-size. This is probably a lesstif-problem, but maybe it should be mentioned in PROBLEMS. Kai

Thanks Matt, for the hint! I tried ediff-buffers and got 43 diffs. Using [Success] 21.0 "Erzgeberg" XEmacs Lucid, windows-nt, i386-pc-win32 I was able to go through all of them.

28 bit ought to be enough for anyone. 26 years, 3 months

Simon Josefsson

I'm sorry if this has been discussed before or is part of the let's-replace-elisp-thread I've mostly been skipping. Or if has already been implemented, I still use XEmacs 20.4 Very well. I find the 28 bit limit on integers to be extremely painful. Would everything break if we link with GMP (a GNU multiple precision library which is quite efficient) for the integer stuff? Or as a backwards compatible way, implement it as a library so we can do things like (require 'gmp), (gmp-add (gmp-pow 2 512) (gmp-pow 2 3842)) or something. To implement Kerberos 5 with strong encryption in elisp, this is almost a must-have. /s

Any signal which was ignored remains so. Then that may be it. Since some betas XEmacs now lets SIGHUP to remain SIG_IGN when it was. However gnuserv SHOULD also die in that case. That is probably the real problem problem in that gnuserv gets its standard streams in a weird state. giacomo, can you reproduce the problem using nohup xemacs -f gnuserv-start & from an xterm ? Jan
