Re: Problems with X errors

Andy Piper writes: OK, so I've done the following: cd xemacs-21.5.3 CC=cc ./configure --cflags=-g --site-prefixes=/lab/indexing --with-workshop --with-dragndrop --with-cde --with-mule --with-purify gmake cd src gmake puremacs This seems to compile the puremacs binary and copies it to temacs. Now, I can't run the puremacs binary directly, because it needs to be dumped (I'm pushing the edges of my understanding of how XEmacs gets built here --- please excuse any errors). So, I do: cd .. gmake And it appears to try to dump a purified XEmacs. It goes ahead and loads all the .elc files, but eventually, the following happens: [Loads deleted] Loading /home/stgreen/Downloads/xemacs-21.5.3/lisp/auto-show.elc... Loading /home/stgreen/Downloads/xemacs-21.5.3/lisp/loadhist.elc... Loading /home/stgreen/Downloads/xemacs-21.5.3/lisp/loaddefs.elc... Loading site-load... Finding pointers to doc strings...

Would configuring with --pdump have solved this problem? BTW, purify -version reports: Version 2001a.04.00 Solaris 2 Any more help would be greatly appreciated, I'd really like to help track this down.
