I built XEmacs last night with the following subset of configure options: --with-athena=next --with-scrollbars=athena --rel-alloc It built fine, but the scrollbars didn't display properly. Either they wouldn't display at all, or they would, only to disappear as soon as the scrollbar was moved. Re-configuring, omitting '--rel-alloc', fixed my scrollbars. -- |---<Steve Youngs>---------------<GnuPG KeyID: 9E7E2820>---| | XEmacs - It's not just an editor. | | It's a way of life. | |------------------------------------&lt;youngs(a)xemacs.org&gt;---|
