MacOS X build problem

MacOS X build problem

[Chris Tessone]

I grabbed emacs from subversions.gnu.org as directed on
http://members.shaw.ca/akochoi-emacs/ last night and tried to build it
on my iBook, which is running Jaguar.  After getting through the whole
build process and running make install, I get the following error:

pi% /usr/local/bin/emacs
Fatal error (6).zsh: abort      /usr/local/bin/emacs

Obviously this isn't very helpful at all for debugging purposes.  What
information should I supply so the bug can be fixed?

See the section "Reporting Bugs" in the Emacs manual and the file 
etc/DEBUG in the distribution.

Thanks!

You can either run "emacs -nw" or you run Emacs from the Emacs.app
application.  You can not run the Aqua windowing interface from
/usr/local/bin.

And yes, a better error message is missing and a bug report about that
is a good idea.


Hope this helps, benny
