Hi Adrian, following are the answers to your questions. I'm trying to install xemacs on Red hat Linux 7.0 instead of Solaris. I've written it wrong yesterday because I'm telnetting to linux machine from solaris machine and I forgot that I was on installing it on linux. Thanks, Sule On 11 Aug 2001, Adrian Aichner wrote: xemacs-21.1.6 gcc I did and I'll try the following.
