Installing emacs on openSUSE 10.3

Installing emacs on openSUSE 10.3

[puller]

Hi,

After running ./configure, when I run "make", many files are compiled,  
and the end of the output shows:

Can you please run the last command under GDB, and when temacs
crashes, post the traceback?  Please run GDB from within the src
directory, as there's a .gdbinit file there that has special commands
and features for debugging Emacs.

Thanks.

You need to run it on temacs, because this is the command that
crashed:

> >> LC_ALL=C ./temacs -batch -l loadup dump
> >> make[1]: *** [emacs] Segmentation fault

Thus, I'd run GDB as follows:

At the shell prompt type this from the src directory:

 $ gdb ./temacs

At the GDB prompt type this:

 (gdb) run -batch -l loadup dump

When temacs crashes, GDB will get control, and you can then produce
the backtrace.

This single line is not helpful.  We need to see the full backtrace.
Please type the command "bt" at that point, and post the results here
in their entirety.

Thanks.

Oops, sorry about that.  Here's the complete backtrace:

This is a known bug in the bcopy implementation that will be fixed in
the final version of openSUSE 10.3.  Nobody else is using bcopy these
days so it didn't show up earlier.

Hi,

I am running openSUSE 10.3, and am still receiving the same error when  
I try to 'make'.  Thanks.

Yes, it didn't make it into the final version.  An update will appear
soon.

Does this merit a PROBLEMS entry then, for the sake of those people
who might not keep their installations up-to-date?

Re: Installing emacs on openSUSE 10.3

[Richard Stallman]

You need to debug the problem by running temacs under GDB.
See etc/DEBUG for a lot of useful advice and help.
