I built for i586-pc-linux (2.0.34 -- Slackware 3.5) and although I clearly need to pick up newer PNG support, I've been running fine with this for a couple of days. One thing that seemed odd to me was that `make install' didn't actually copy the xemacs binary into place. In fact, copying it into place caused it to not find critical things. Instead, I had to make a symbolic link from the installation bin directory to the binary living in the source directory. For my purposes, this is not biggy, but it certainly doesn't seem right. Have others seen this? FWIW, I've been off of the list for at least six months and I'm just now finding enough time to get back into the swing of things. It's quite possible that some part of the build procedure has changed and I missed it. It's also possible that I caused the situation more directly. My first attempt to install failed cuz the bin directory didn't exist (arguably a bug in `make install'), so I created it and ran `make install' again.
