Can you write one? * emacs crashes with SIGSEGV in XtInitializeWidgetClass under X, but runs fine when called with option "-nw". This has been observed when emacs is linked with GNU ld instead of Solaris ld. To check which ld is used by gcc add "-V" to TEMACS_LDFLAGS in src/Makefile. Alternatively the executable size may be used as an indication of which linker is used. The size is approximately 15M when linked with solaris ld compared to 9M when linked with GNU ld. The fix is to reconfigure/install gcc, making sure that the SUN linker is used. -- ------------------------------------------ | Klaus Zeitler Lucent Technologies | | Email: kzeitler@lucent.com | ------------------------------------------ --- Power corrupts.
