[ I do not speak english very well, I am french - please excuse-me then for mistakes } Hello. I just compiled XEmacs 21.1.14 like that: # sh configure # make # make install I use Slackware 8.1 (1 CD version, bought at Ikarios.com, and CD comes from LinuxCentral), fully installed. When I run XEmacs in console mode, It work, but when I run it under XFree86 4.2, I display me the following text: ========== copy ========== bash-2.05a# 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" 0x1a21>) frame-initialize() # bind (debugger debug-on-error command-line-args-left) command-line() # (unwind-protect ...) normal-top-level() # (condition-case ... . error) # (catch top-level ...)

I do not really know if that mail is the good way to report the bug, but it appear to me as the only one that exists... and... I am a really newbie under linux, and never really used XEmacs... I would like to use it and... do you know what can I do to fix that problem ? Thank you very much ! ++ Jérémy. PS: I forget to say: CPU : AMD Duron 800 MHz, 256 MB of RAM, 20 GB HDD
