This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team,
not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Please describe as succinctly as possible:
- What happened.
- What you thought should have happened.
- Precisely what you were doing at the time.
Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have.
================================================================
Dear Bug Team!
xemacs compiles and runs fine. However I get the following message
on my command line when I launch xemacs:
_XF86BigfontQueryFont: could not attach shm segment
I assume XF86 refers to XFree86, but I'm using Apple X11 1.0 on
Panther (Mac OS X 10.3.2).
Any ideas?

Not Fink.
The same error shows up in my console whenever I launch XEmacs from a
terminal prompt and have it run in its own window but not when I run it as a
TTY. I do not have Fink installed but have a system with Apple's v1 X11.app
and system 10.3.2 (XEmacs 21.5.b16 latest CVS). I think that error comment
has been showing up at least since 21.5.b15. I figured it was because of
problems with the way Darwin handles locale--only because many have
complained in the past about other X programs having problems with Darwin's
locale implementation. I also set a lot of font characteristics early in my
init file.
It also showed up when I was using XDarwin and regardless of window managers
I used.

Brian is presumably using Fink, as --site-prefixes=/sw is present in
the configure line. /sw is a Fink-specific hierarchy, isn't it? At
least, pretty much everything there that I can see on my box is
accounted for by Fink packages.
Installation does not give accurate information about what libraries
are being used to build XEmacs, since Fink installs XFree86 into
/usr/X11R6.

I've seen it on Linux, too. It's not part of XEmacs, so it has to
have come from Xlib (or some other X library). I would guess it's a
misconfiguration of XFree86 of some kind, as I've never seen it from
my local build, only from the Debian package.

X11.app isn't involved, as XEmacs doesn't link to it, nor would
messages from X11.app be going to the same place as XEmacs's stderr.
What X11 development environment do you use? Check the headers for
XFree86 CVS timestamps, even if your using Apple's---I wouldn't be
surprised if the "Apple" X11 development environment is actually
XFree86, since that's what FreeBSD uses.

misconfiguration of XFree86 of some kind, as I've never seen it from

It's from the XFree86 version of Xlib (lib/X11/Font.c):
if ((addr = shmat(reply.shmid, 0, SHM_RDONLY)) == (char *)-1) {
if (extcodes->serverCapabilities & CAP_VerifiedLocal)
fprintf(stderr, "_XF86BigfontQueryFont: could not attach shm segment\n");
The XFree86 implementations of XQueryFont() and XLoadQueryFont() try
_XF86BigfontQueryFont() before _XQueryFont() if USE_XF86BIGFONT is
defined.
