This is produced by configure and lives in the top directory of the build tree. If you are _not_ using the --pdump option to configure, please try that. The most sensitive part of the X?Emacs build process is the "unexec" or "dumping" phase, and --pdump ("portable dumper") is a huge improvement in robustness with a couple of minor annoyances (a separate data file for the pre-loaded Lisp, and problems with using symlinks to access the executable).

Not to mention all sanity. :-( If they're so damn good that they don't need core files, they shouldn't have any programs crashing, either. Ville, do you know of any good URLs where we can investigate the Red Hat brokkage du jour (specifically in libc and GCC)? Every single Red Hat release since about 6.2 has broken the XEmacs build. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN My nostalgia for Icon makes me forget about any of the bad things.
