Hi there... I've been fighting with this build for a couple of weeks now with no real success yet. Here's the latest info. At the moment my make fails while "building the finder database", the relevant target from GNUmakefile is: --------------------------------------------------------------------- lisp/finder-inf.el: ＠echo "Building finder database ..." (cd ./lisp; \ ${blddir}/src/${PROGNAME} -batch -vanilla \ -eval '(setq finder-compile-keywords-quiet t)' \ -l finder -f finder-compile-keywords ) ＠echo "Building finder database ...(done)" --------------------------------------------------------------------- At this point in the make process I get: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Fatal error (11). Your files have been auto-saved. <snip> Lisp backtrace follows: make: *** [lisp/finder-inf.el] Segmentation fault (core dumped) NrG_DEVL_2$ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The core file seems to be bad, so I tried running under gdb and get the following: --------------------------------------------------------------------- NrG_DEVL_2$ pwd /devl/tmp/xemacs-21.2.10/lisp NrG_DEVL_2$ gdb ../src/xemacs GNU gdb 4.17 This GDB was configured as "powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.0.0"... (no debugging symbols found)...

I have it configured as: --------------------------------------------------------------------- NrG_DEVL_2$ head -30 Installation uname -a: AIX NrG_DEVL_2 3 4 00016231A400 ./configure '--prefix=/gnu' '--with-dialogs=athena' '--dynamic=no' '--with-dragndrop=no' XEmacs 21.2-b10 "Boreas" configured for `powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.0.0'. --------------------------------------------------------------------- If there's more information I can provide that would help I'd be most happy to! Thanks a million. -- Cheers, Derek _____________________________________________________________________ Derek Scherger Echologic Software Corporation mailto:derek＠echologic.com http://www.echologic.com
