Built with gcc-2.95.3. Building worked, last month, but now a newly built XEmacs dies on startup. As far as I know nothing has changed on the Sun box in question --- but I am not root so things may have changed on it without my knowledge), boom. I've turned virtually everything off and it still happens. I haven't been able to get XEmacs-21.4.[23] to work in X since the problem started happening, which is frustrating :( /u03/home/nalcock/repo-src/xemacs/21.4.3/configure '--prefix=/u03/home/nalcock' '--exec-prefix=/u03/home/nalcock/.packages.bin/`/u03/home/nalcock/bin/config .guess`' '--infodir=/tmp/gnu/bar' '--infopath=/u03/home/nalcock/info' '--datadir=/u03/home/nalcock/lib' '--mandir=/u03/home/nalcock/man' '--statedir=/u03/home/nalcock/var/run' '--verbose' '--with-gcc' '--with-mule=no' '--with-xim=no' '--with-xfs=no' '--with-sound=no' '--prefix=/u03/home/nalcock' XEmacs 21.4.3 "Academic Rigor" configured for `sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1'.
