Oddly enough, it is the configure flag "--with-datadir=/usr/share"
which caused my build to fail at load time.
I only specified this flag because it's in the Gentoo ebuild.
But, since I'm setting --prefix=/usr, this flag shouldn't even
matter: according to ./configure --help,
--datarootdir=DIR read-only arch.-independent data root [PREFIX/share]
--datadir=DIR read-only architecture-independent data [DATAROOTDIR]
So, since I'm setting prefix to /usr, the datarootdir should default
to /usr/share, and datadir to the same thing, right? So it's odd that
this should cause the build to fail. But I suppose there are bigger
fish to fry than this - at least, I have a nice looking XEmacs now, and if
that redisplay crash is gone, I'll be happy.
Cheers,
