Fresh install of suse 9.2 on a P4 with 512 meg memory.
Previously installed GnuEmacs from source. It would not open in a new
Xwindow, only in the terminal window. Installaation of GnuEmacs from
RPMs failed
Installed the following RPMs:
canna-libs-3.7p1-27.i586.rpm
xemacs-21.4.15-64.3.i586.rpm/
xemacs-info-21.5.18-4.i586.rpm
xemacs-packages-20040818-2.1.noarch.rpm
xemacs-packages-info-20040202-57.1.i586.rpm
not in that order
abbysuse:~ # xemacs -i .exrc
results in a new xwindow openning briefly and the it goes away. The
following eror message is returned:
abbysuse:~ # xemacs -i .exrc

conversion
Fatal error (11).
Your files have been auto-saved.
Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them.
Your version of XEmacs was distributed with a PROBLEMS file that may
describe
your crash, and with luck a workaround. Please check it first, but do
report
the crash anyway. Please report this bug by invoking M-x report-emacs-bug,
or by selecting `Send Bug Report' from the Help menu. If necessary, send
ordinary email to `crashes(a)xemacs.org'. *MAKE SURE* to include the XEmacs
configuration from M-x describe-installation, or equivalently the file
Installation in the top of the build tree.
*Please* try *hard* to obtain a C stack backtrace; without it, we are
unlikely
to be able to analyze the problem. Locate the core file produced as a
result
of this crash (often called `core' or `core.<process-id>', and located in
the directory in which you started XEmacs or your home directory), and type
gdb /usr/X11R6/bin/xemacs core
then type `where' at the debugger prompt. No GDB on your system? You may
have DBX, or XDB, or SDB. (Ask your system administrator if you need help.)
If no core file was produced, enable them (often with `ulimit -c unlimited'
in case of future recurrance of the crash.
Lisp backtrace follows:

I was unable to find the problem file either on my computer or as a web
file.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
