Hi,
I have built XEmacs 21.2.23 on Solaris 2.5.1 with following options.
**********************************************************************
In XEmacs 21.2 (beta23) "Hebe" [Lucid] (sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1) of Tue Dec 14
1999 on urvashi
configured using `configure
--prefix=/net/urvashi/usr1/sdeshmuk/gnu/XEmacs/beta/xemacs-21.2.23 --with-xpm=yes
--with-workshop=yes --site-libraries=/usr/local/lib/X11/'
**********************************************************************
I have noticed that 21.2.8 onwards, I was never able to "install" the
xemacs. It always fails while testing lisp shadows as,

**********************************************************************
Also, the image mode does not load gif or jpeg files correctly. and in
21.2.23, whenever I load a directory dired mode, xemacs temporarily
hangs. If I quit with C-g and load again, it works fine.
