Hi. Since my last "apt-get dist-upgrade", I cannot start xemacs in X anymore but well in the console. I did search in the news and in the Debian Emacsen mail archive but I have found a information that could help me. I'am not a programmer so I do hope this message is not annoying. ＠cassiopee, ~->: xemacs Fatal error (11). Your files have been auto-saved. Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them. If you have access to the PROBLEMS file that came with your version of XEmacs, please check to see if your crash is described there, as there may be a workaround available. I did check that but I did not find anything that could apparently help me. Otherwise, please report this bug by running the send-pr script included with XEmacs, or selecting `Send Bug Report' from the help menu. send-pr: the GNATS site xemacs.org does not have a categories list. As a last resort send ordinary email to `crashes(a)xemacs.org&#39;. *MAKE SURE* to include the information in the command M-x describe-installation. uname -a: Linux eeyore 2.4.17-rc1 #2 Sun Dec 16 17:50:34 EST 2001 i686 unknown ./configure '--with-sound=none,native' '--cflags=-O2 -g -Wall' '--with-x11' '--extra-verbose' '--with-site-lisp' '--statedir=/var/lib' '--infodir=/usr/share/info/xemacs-21.4.6' '--prefix=/usr' '--error-checking=none' '--debug=no' '--dynamic' '--without-postgresql' '--with-gpm=no' '--with_menubars=lucid' '--with_scrollbars=lucid' '--with_dialogs=athena' '--docdir=/usr/lib/xemacs-21.4.6/i386-debian-linux/mule/' '--with-mule' '--with-canna=no' '--with-wnn=no' '--with-xim=xlib' '--with-xfs' '--package-path=~/.xemacs:~/.xemacs/packages:~/.xemacs/xemacs-packages::/usr/share/xemacs21/packages:/usr/share/xemacs21/mule-packages:/usr/share/xemacs21/site-packages' 'i386-debian-linux' XEmacs 21.4.6 "Common Lisp" configured for `i386-debian-linux'.

If at all possible, *please* try to obtain a C stack backtrace; it will help us immensely in determining what went wrong. To do this, locate the core file that was produced as a result of this crash (it's usually called `core' and is located in the directory in which you started the editor, or maybe in your home directory), and type gdb /usr/bin/xemacs core then type `where' when the debugger prompt comes up. (If you don't have GDB on your system, you might have DBX, or XDB, or SDB. A similar procedure should work for all of these. Ask your system administrator if you need more help.) Lisp backtrace follows: # bind (frame-being-created) make-frame(nil #<x-device on ":0.0" 0x2412>) frame-initialize() # bind (debugger debug-on-error command-line-args-left) command-line() # (unwind-protect ...) normal-top-level() # (condition-case ... . error) # (catch top-level ...)
