    Hi, I have some difficulties turning on

    (pc-selection-mode t)

    when trying to set this after emacs is started, it works without any
    problem. But I get an error message when trying to put it in ~/.emacs.
    This is 21.2.1 on Linux.

(That would be on GNU/Linux, I'd expect.  A kernel such as Linux
is not enough by itself to run a program like Emacs.  See
http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html.)

Some changes have been made in pc-selection-mode recently.
They are not in 21.2 since we didn't think they were fixes to
serious bugs, but perhaps they do fix this one.  I will email
you the latest version so you can try it.

It does not fail for me in the current development Emacs,
but perhaps it depends on something else in your .emacs file.

    So I called "emacs --debug-init". These are the last lines of the debug
    message:

If it still fails, could you send the first few lines instead?
