Re: Xemacs don't start

Please don't redirect mail from the list to a personal address. Reproducing the whole post for the benefit of xemacs-beta. Oscar> Sorry, I'm a newbie. I hope that's OK. Sure. Enjoy it; it won't last long. ;-) XEmacs 21.4.6 is quite old, and bugs with backtraces similar to the one you sent have been fixed. I recommend you upgrade to the most recent version (Debian definitely has 21.4.14 or 21.4.13) available. Oscar> Thak you again.
