I've been building Emacs/XEmacs for years and years under HP-UX (and I'm still on 10.20), and I can't remember a time when I had any problem remotely similar to yours. I'm pretty sure that -g has always worked for me. Any problems I've had have always been with some kind of optimization, or with non-compiler-related issues (like audio libraries, X11, or undump). Oh, wait -- you're using "-O -g". Stop doing that. Use either "-g" or "-O", but not both. Yah. I understand. If your site is patch-phobic, then the problem may be that you're using buggy X11 libraries. HP has a seeming boatload of patches for X11, and you really should (but probably don't) have somewhat recent patches. [ As a side note, I've got something like 120+ patches installed on my old HP-UX 10.20 workstation, although I don't strictly need all of them. ] I'm not seeing any clipboard hangs, although I am using 21.4.5, and not 21.4.6. -- Darryl Okahata darrylo(a)soco.agilent.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Agilent Technologies, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
