Glynn> XEmacs and VM versions are as listed in the X-Mailer: header. This menu item is installed by EUDC. No completion being available on server name and protocol is... ahem... a feature... On the other hand XEmacs looking for completions in the whole obarray in that case is... a problem. I'll try to get a fix on this. Oscar

I'd be interested in a comparison. For what I can see now, Elk is very well documented, has usefull extensions like unix (syscalls) and X11, and seems to be usable in multi-threaded apps. The lastest release occured last year though. On the contrary, guile seems far less mature, not very clean, and the documentation is completely out-of-date. Maybe it's just August, but the guys on the mailing list seem very closed on themselve. I'm wondering how they can expect more people to get involved in guile development under those conditions. --didier

I get it too. It's a menu item provided by eudc. I believe the offending code is this line in the function eudc-set-server: (interactive "sDirectory Server: \nSProtocol: ") Notice the `S' matching any symbol for the protocol field.

Which OS... Linux probably? (judging from the libs) (Could you please recreate using an XEmacs with "-g"?

It is crashing in libgpm (maybe in a signal handler). the gpm code cannot handle what we do with it (see the PROBLEMS file), so maybe this just another symptom. However I am not sure we are doing everything correctly when creating tty devices. > make-device(tty "/dev/ttyp4" (terminal-type "xterm" controlling-process 2825)) Somebody on Digital Unix reported this: # (unwind-protect ...) make-device(tty "/dev/ttyp4" (terminal-type "vt100" controlling-process 1069)) # bind (controlling-process terminal-type tty) make-tty-device("/dev/ttyp4" "vt100" 1069) apply(make-tty-device ("/dev/ttyp4" "vt100" 1069)) # bind (dest-frame new-frame old-device-num quick view flags list type) gnuserv-edit-files((tty "/dev/ttyp4" "vt100" 1069) nil) With the following C part (gdb) where #0 0x3ff82067a10 in __kill () #1 0x120086950 in fatal_error_signal (sig=-2113585884) at emacs.c:220 #2 <signal handler called> #3 0x120191690 in _free_internal (ptr=0x3ffc062e0a0 "") at gmalloc.c:789 #4 0x120191b54 in free (ptr=0x3ffc062e0a0 "") at gmalloc.c:950 #5 0x3ff8082a260 in setupterm () #6 0x3ff80825d54 in tgetent () #7 0x1200b2504 in init_tty_for_redisplay (d=0x140648000, etc. There is also another guy having weird buffering problems between gnuserv and XEmacs IF AND ONLY IF he starts XEmacs from his windowmanager. Weird... Jan

Unless you do something different when the scripts are run interactively -vs- noninteractively.

PNG problems with "Erzgeberg-pre1" (i586-pc-cygwin32) 27 years

Remek Trzaska

Hi guys! I just upgraded libpng 1.0.2 on "CYGWIN32_95 PIGLET 4.10 19.1 i586 unknown", I think successfully (test results attached). However, when I wanted to see Steve's alter ego ;-) (/xemacs-20/etc/photos/slb.png) I got not too nice message: (1) (image/warning) (error "Invalid image-instantiator format" png) png is not supported! Unfortunately, I don't recall whether or not PNG support was ever working in compiled by me on cygwin32 betas. How to tackle this thing?
