XEmacs-21.4.{4,5} compiled from sources on a Debian GNU/Linux
"sid"/unstable system using gcc-2.95.4:
- crashes when running under X-Windows
- works ok if started up in non-windowed mode (ie xemacs -nw)
Lisp backtrace follows:
# bind (frame-being-created)
make-frame(nil #<x-device on ":0.0" 0x1bbe>)
frame-initialize()
# bind (debugger debug-on-error command-line-args-left)
command-line()
# (unwind-protect ...)
normal-top-level()
# (condition-case ... . error)
# (catch top-level ...)
Segmentation fault
Exit 139
I've attached a backtrace of running XEmacs in gdb, as well installation
info (M-x describe-installation-info). XEmacs was compiled from sources
using gcc-2.95.4 with XFree-4.1.0.
I am currently using Debian's official XEmacs-21.4.4 packages which do
not exhibit any such problems, but would really like to get back to
using my own rolled-from-sources XEmacs.
Thanks.
