Hi,
I recently compiled Xemacs for Linux, but I get the following error
when trying to run it:
Warning: No type converter registered for 'String' to 'nsfers'
conversion.
Warning: No type converter registered for 'String' to 'nsfers'
conversion.
Fatal error (6).
Your files have been auto-saved.
Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them.
Your version of XEmacs was distributed with a PROBLEMS file that may
describe
your crash, and with luck a workaround. Please check it first, but do
report
the crash anyway. Please report this bug by invoking M-x
report-emacs-bug,
or by selecting `Send Bug Report' from the Help menu. If necessary,
send
ordinary email to `crashes(a)xemacs.org'. *MAKE SURE* to include the
XEmacs
configuration from M-x describe-installation, or equivalently the file
Installation in the top of the build tree.
*Please* try *hard* to obtain a C stack backtrace; without it, we are
unlikely
to be able to analyze the problem. Locate the core file produced as a
result
of this crash (often called `core' or `core.<process-id>', and located
in
the directory in which you started XEmacs or your home directory), and
type
gdb /usr/local/bin/xemacs core
then type `where' at the debugger prompt. No GDB on your system? You
may
have DBX, or XDB, or SDB. (Ask your system administrator if you need
help.)
If no core file was produced, enable them (often with `ulimit -c
unlimited'
in case of future recurrance of the crash.
Lisp backtrace follows:
# bind (frame-being-created)
make-frame(nil #<x-device on "coelacanth:0.0" 0x322>)
frame-initialize()
# bind (debugger debug-on-error command-line-args-left)
command-line()
# (condition-case ... . ((t (byte-code " Â" ... 1))))
# bind (error-data)
normal-top-level()
# (condition-case ... . error)
# (catch top-level ...)
Aborted (core dumped)
I tried the workarounds in the PROBLMES file for *** XEmacs crashes on
startup, in make-frame, but I still get the error.
regards,
Fred Odendaal

We are not kidding. PROBLEMS doesn't come close to having an
exhaustive list.
Please try ./configure --with-dialogs=athena. You need to have an
Athena-compatible library installed, and if it's not the one
distributed with X, you'll need to specify --with-athena=TYPE where
TYPE can be xaw, 3d, or a few other rarer possibilities (see
./configure --usage).
The Hannibal Lector GNU ld is now auto-detected, and except for a few
rare and ancient Red Hat and SuSE systems the --ldflags option will do
nothing for you except _increase_ startup time. If you want to turn
off the portable dumper feature, do so with --pdump=no.
If you really want the Motif dialogs, we need to know what version of
Motif you're using.

New subject: Xemacs 21.4.14 crashes on Linux and workarounds in Problemsfile don't fix it
Thanks Stephen,
I did the
"./configure --with-dialogs=athena --with-athena=xaw"
and rebuilt xemacs. Now xemacs lauches correctly, but when I try the buttons or
the respective command I get an error.
For instance when I do File->Open or hit the open button or typeC-x C-f I get an
error like:
Symbol's function definition is void: make-annotation
Any ideas on what could be causing this?
regards,
Fred O.

Your Motif headers (specifically Xm/XmStrDefs.h) don't match your
Motif library.
Do you have multiple Motif implementations (e.g. both OpenMotif and
Lesstif)? If so, uninstall one of them then re-build XEmacs from
scratch.
