Hello, at first thanks for maintaining xemacs. Unfortunately the following problems occurs on my system: 'xemacs -nw' starts up on the console or xterm. But 'xemacs' under X crashes with a segmentation fault. Appended to this mail you will find the output before core dumping, the ouput of M-x describe-installation and a backtrace from the core. Please contact in case of questions via florian.simnacher(a)eikon.tum.de. Regards and best wishes, Florian BTW Speicherzugriffsfehler is german and means segmentation fault ########## Output before dumping core florian＠hera:/usr/local/src/xemacs-21.4.5> 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. Otherwise, please report this bug by running the send-pr script included with XEmacs, or selecting `Send Bug Report' from the help menu. 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. 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/local/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" 0x1ba4>) frame-initialize() # bind (debugger debug-on-error command-line-args-left) command-line() # (unwind-protect ...) normal-top-level() # (condition-case ... . error) # (catch top-level ...)
