Re: Error loading latest xemacs beta with Xft=emacs

lisp/fontconfig.el does `(require 'font-mgr)'. This is a

fontconfig emulation throws an error, with the results you see. All
Lisp errors in initialization cause XEmacs to exit with a backtrace.
I did
make realclean
cvs -z3 -q update -P -A -d
configure (with the same configuration from my first report)
make depend && make beta
src/xemacs
Same errors.
Then I commented out (require 'font-mgr) in lisp/fontconfig.el
rm src/xemacs src/temacs lisp/*.elc
make
src/xemacs
Looks like that worked. For some reason the font-mgr.el file must have been
triggered. All of this I did on my office machine which is very close to my
home machine from which I sent the initial report. They both use the same
config options and the same startup file. The differences are that the
external libraries at home are more up to date than they are at work. I do
not believe that is related, however.
