XEmacs should therefore not be calling anything like that. You seem to be building your own libjpeg, libpng, and zlib libraries; try building XEmacs with --with-jpeg=no --with-png=no, and/or rebuilding those libraries. This is a long shot, but at least if it pans out we have an idea where to look. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN My nostalgia for Icon makes me forget about any of the bad things.
