Trying the HEAD (or TIP or whatever)

David A. Cobb writes: This is a long-known issue. The installation documentation warns about it, as do the release notes. It's also very easy to work around: cd /usr/local mkdir -p lib/xemacs cd lib/xemacs wget ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/packages/xemacs-sumo.tar.gz tar xzf xemacs-sumo.tar.gz rm xemacs-sumo.tar.gz so it's not something that is going to generate a lot of interest from the core developers at this point in time. Patches are welcome. I'll look into that, but it will be a week or so. Maybe somebody else will get to it sooner. XEmacs should not crash just because Lisp is missing. No. By the time you get to a crash, XEmacs is dead, and you're stuck with system-specific methods. What did you have in mind? If you've got a decent terminal with plenty of scrollback, you can cut and paste, or you can use something like "gdb xemacs | tee /tmp/gdb.log", or you can use gdb's own command logging facilities (assuming you're on a system where the debugger is gdb, which isn't necessarily the case). _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
