I built and installed xemacs on a sparc 60 running Solaris 8. As I understand it, the pre-built kit will install to /usr/local; I don't have permissions to write there so I have to build it to install it elsewhere. I did as the directions said and downloaded the source and the packages, untarred and unzipped them. The only difference is, I was not root and I did a ./configure --prefix=/dir where dir is one directory above where I was installing from. Then I did the make install Then I did a setenv EMACSPACKAGEPATH /the_path/where_the/packages/were/untarred When I run it I get Warning:Cannot convert string <key>Escape,_Key_Cancel to type VirtualBinding and other similar warnings when I run it . The tool bar looks all messed up, the syntax highlighting color does not work properly and many options like paren matching are missing. Do I need more packages or did I neglect t do something?
