Hi all,
Currently, my list-display-colors returns a barren and empty window,
so none of my color-related customisations work (and we all want
syntax highlighting, don't we?).
I have located my rgb.txt here:
/usr/openwin/lib/X11/rgb.txt
How do I make emacs go there to get the list?
I am currently running:
GNU Emacs 20.4.1 (sparc-sun-solaris2.7, X toolkit)
Thank you in advance, you good people.
RBS

That is VERY strange for an Emacs built with X support.

You don't. Emacs doesn't really read that file, it has its own list
of X colors (see lisp/term/x-win.el).

That's a very old version. Perhaps you should consider upgrading
(the latest released version is 21.3).
