I'm too stupid or what?

The problem is -- I can't find 'core's from crashed XEmacs. Either I don't know something about Linux, or it does not dump core for 'Segmentation fault'. I wanted to listen to XEmacs sounds and compiled it for native sound support. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- uname -a: Linux hookah 2.2.12-20 #5 Thu Feb 3 17:25:10 MSK 2000 i686 unknown ./configure '--with-pop' '--error-checking=none' '--with-sound=native,noesd' XEmacs 21.2-b29 "Hestia" configured for `i686-pc-linux'. Where should the build process find the source code? /local/src/xemacs-21.2.29 What installation prefix should install use? /usr/local What operating system and machine description files should XEmacs use? `s/linux.h' and `m/intel386.h' What compiler should XEmacs be built with? gcc -g -O3 -Wall -Wno-switch -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wmissing-prototypes -Wshadow Should XEmacs use the GNU version of malloc? yes (Using Doug Lea's new malloc from the GNU C Library.) Should XEmacs use the relocating allocator for buffers? no What window system should XEmacs use? x11 Where do we find X Windows header files? /usr/X11R6/include Where do we find X Windows libraries? /usr/X11R6/lib Athena library to link: Xaw Athena header include path: X11/Xaw Compiling in support for XAUTH.

I pressed <uparrow> and the window immediately disappeared. In the terminal I see only 'Segmentation fault' and no 'core dumped'. And there is no core... May be I just don't know something about Linux? Nick. P.S.: /local/src/xemacs-21.2.29/src/xemacs -vanilla -f load-default-sounds -f \ backward-line opens XEmacs window for a split second then closes it and writes to stderr 'Segmentation fault'
