Jan Vroonhof <vroonhof(a)math.ethz.ch&gt; writes: So far I have only built using gcc (except for the 6.5 system where we only have the SGI compiler installed). xemacs -nw works fine, but I get the XtCreatePopupShell() crash we have been seeing for some time. This is with X11R6.4 and the display tunneled via ssh to a Linux machine. I'll rebuild with debug info and investigate. Any ideas?
