Here is the line I used to configure it, but I notice that motif dialog boxes
are still being used. Is this right? I haven't started compiling it yet.
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/xemacs-21.4.6 --site-prefixes=/usr/local
--with-scrollbars=lucid --with-dialogs=lucid
Using Lucid menubars.
Using Lucid scrollbars.
Using Motif dialog boxes.
Using Motif native widgets.
It's certainly not what I had expected when I offered my advice,
however, it is consistent with the documentation in configure.usage:
--with-dialogs=TYPE Use TYPE dialog boxes (lucid, motif, athena, or no).
Lucid menubars and scrollbars are the default.
Motif dialog boxes will be used if Motif can be found.
Based on your other posts, it doesn't sound like your problems are
motif-related, so I don't know if it's worthwhile to pursue this in
any case.
My guess would be that Stephen is probably right that your problems
are gcc-related, but I have no idea how to work around them or fix
them.:-(
[Warning Gross hack alert! I assume the 5.8 executable won't work on
5.7; do you have a 5.6 machine around where you can build an
executable to work on both 5.6 and 5.7?]
