This bug report will be sent to the Bug-GNU-Emacs mailing list
and the GNU bug tracker at debbugs.gnu.org.  Please check that
the From: line contains a valid email address.  After a delay of up
to one day, you should receive an acknowledgment at that address.

Please write in English if possible, as the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators for other languages.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug, and
the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give a recipe
starting from `emacs -Q':

Dear Sir or Madam,

I have just installed emacs 24 in Ubuntu. When I try to type an accented
charecter, I get:

<dead-acute> is undefined
<dead-grave> is undefined

Regards


If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
For information about debugging Emacs, please read the file

This is a known problem (see for example
https://bugs.launchpad.net/emacs-snapshot/+bug/1251176 where people
came up with some workarounds).

My understanding is that it's fixed in the 24.3.91 pretest.
Please confirm that 24.3.91 works correctly without the need for any of
the workarounds,


        Stefan

I think this works well these days, so I'm closing this bug report.
Please reopen if it's still a problem.
