I am attempting to install emacs and getting a seg fault
from “make”. This problem has occurred while trying to
install 20.1 and 21.3. Configure gives the following output:
Configured for `sparc-sun-solaris2.9'.
Where should the build process find the source
code? /u1/home/mlewis/emacs-20.1
What operating system and machine description files
should Emacs use?
`s/sol2-4.h' and
`m/sparc.h'
What compiler should emacs be built
with?
gcc -g -O
Should Emacs use the GNU version of
malloc?
yes
Should Emacs use the relocating allocator for
buffers? yes
What window system should Emacs
use?
x11
What toolkit should Emacs
use?
LUCID
Where do we find X Windows header
files?
Standard dirs
Where do we find X Windows
libraries?
Standard dirs
And the seg fault comes near the end (I think) of make, as
follows:
Loading ediff-hook (compiled)...
Finding pointers to doc strings...
Finding pointers to doc strings...done
Dumping under names emacs and emacs-20.1.1
413976 pure bytes used
./emacs -q -batch -f list-load-path-shadows
No Emacs Lisp load-path shadowings were found
Fatal error (11).make[1]: *** [emacs] Segmentation Fault

cd leim; make all \

make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/u1/home/mlewis/emacs-20.1/leim'
After this, I can actually run emacs, but it
segfaults/coredumps on exit.
Any idea what needs to be done?
