Hi, no "correct" report as I cannot get the fresh Xemacs to start at all. Installation is attached, backtraces inline. I'm now searching for an Athena library as it hasn't been installed on my box so far. Oh, installed is [bodewig＠bodewig xemacs-21.4.10]$ rpm -q -a | fgrep -i lesstif lesstif-0.93.18-2 lesstif-devel-0.93.18-2 [bodewig＠bodewig xemacs-21.4.10]$ rpm -q -a | fgrep -i motif openmotif21-2.1.30-1 openmotif-2.2.2-5 openmotif-devel-2.2.2-5 C stack backtrace #0 0x42029241 in kill () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 #1 0x080a7b23 in fatal_error_signal (sig=11) at emacs.c:539 #2 <signal handler called> #3 0x40118077 in XmStringEmpty () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.3 #4 0x401373ed in Initialize () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.3 #5 0x4030b947 in XtInitializeWidgetClass () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 #6 0x4030b915 in XtInitializeWidgetClass () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 #7 0x4030be51 in XtInitializeWidgetClass () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 #8 0x4030c329 in _XtCreateWidget () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 #9 0x4030c3ad in XtCreateWidget () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 #10 0x081766ac in x_create_widgets (f=0x83bd898, lisp_window_id=1081048144, parent=1081048144) at frame-x.c:1992 #11 0x081778cb in x_init_frame_1 (f=0x83bd898, props=1081048144) at frame-x.c:2184 #12 0x080f954c in Fmake_frame (props=1081048144, device=137845032) at frame.c:399 #13 0x080adc7e in Ffuncall (nargs=3, args=0xbfffec14) at eval.c:3536 #14 0x0808abc7 in execute_optimized_program ( program=0x83bd780 "Æ \210Ç ?­&È\fÉ \"¬\027Ê\r\v\"\022Ë\rÈ\tÌ \"＠\"\211\020\026\020Í\r!\025Î\016\021!\210Ï\211\024\207OoOooO!", stack_depth=5, constants_data=0x4075f57c) at bytecode.c:748 #15 0x0808a895 in funcall_compiled_function (fun=1081909972, nargs=0, args=0xbfffed88) at bytecode.c:516 Lisp backtrace # bind (frame-being-created) make-frame(nil #<x-device on ":0.0" 0x484>) frame-initialize() # bind (debugger debug-on-error command-line-args-left) command-line() # (condition-case ... .
