I can specify these colors from the command line using the "-bg", "-fg" and "-cr" options. I see in the Message buffer the following: 'Unable to load color "darkblue"' This message shows up even if I start it with '--no-init-file'. Any suggestions? Is there anything short of rebuilding with some debugging enabled to diagnose this? Note: the Emacs manual include with the release still references the older file under the "Mac OS" section.
