Thank you, --pdump worked. Prior to that I tried the
RPM, but it would not install because of some
dependency ... a missing library. (I've forgotten what
it said, but I think it said "pc" somewhere in it.)
Hmm, I don't know about those any more, I'm using apt myself. In case
you're not familiar with it yet, take a look at:

First of all ... I've been keeping my packages
reasonably up to date lately. Is it a true statement
that I should just be able to compile xemacs, load it,
and do another packages update, and that I shouldn't
have to download and untar a sumo tarball?
Yes, that's the way it *should* work. OTOH, at the moment you'll need
to get the efs and xemacs-base packages to be able to do a packages
update. See <
http://www.xemacs.org/Install/> for more info.
Now, when I try to run it (from my home directory) I
get interesting variations of this:
$ xemacs
xemacs ... temacs can only be run in -batch mode
$ type xemacs
xemacs is a tracked alias for /usr/local/bin/xemacs
$ /usr/local/bin/xemacs
<starts normally>
I have no idea what the temacs message is all about,
and even less why it goes away when I use the full
pathname.
AFAICT, this is caused by using --pdump (somebody else will have to shed
light on the gory details). Removing the alias and prepending
/usr/local/bin/ to PATH should work.
