From: sperber(a)informatik.uni-tuebingen.de (Michael Sperber [Mr. Preprocessor]) Date: 24 Jul 2001 03:03:37 +0200 Alex> Hi Folks, Alex> When I try to run xemacs-21.4.2, I get an error with the init.el Alex> that is supplied by the XEmacs itself. My system is SunOS 5.7 I don't quite understand what you mean by "init.el that is supplied by the XEmacs itself". Supposedly you mean sample.init.el. This should not crash the way you're describing. The site-start.el that was came with the xemacs on solaris from sun(?) had the following code to enable tooltalk and sunpro. (when (featurep 'tooltalk) (load "tooltalk-macros") (load "tooltalk-util") (load "tooltalk-init")) (when (featurep 'sparcworks) (load "sunpro-init") (load "ring") (load "comint") (load "annotations") (sunpro-startup)) Anyway, Sunpro-startup calls turn-on-pending-delete which calls pending-delete-mode. So, look in site-start.el, or init.el or default.el (etc) for either sunpro-startup or pending-delete or install the pc package (as suggested).... -jeff Alex> The error says" Alex> Error in init file: Alex> Symbol's function definition is void: pending-delete-mode Either delete the references to pending-delete-mode from your init.el or install the pc package which contains pending-del.
