emacs does not compile under Fedora 9: Memory exhausted

emacs does not compile under Fedora 9: Memory exhausted

[lanas]

All,

  I've been using the emacs from Savannah for some time now.  It works
very nicely.  Now, I've tried to compile under Fedora 9 x86 and it
won't, the compilation resulting in:

language/thai-word.el:10736:5:Error: Memory exhausted--use C-x s then exit and restart Emacs

make[2]: *** [compile] Error 1

  Now, I would first hand presume that this is related to Fedora 9.  emacs is not running at that moment and the compile process is:

./configure
make bootstrap

  Is there a way to disable Thai (and others not needed by the way)
language support easily at the configure stage ?

Cheers,

Al

found the solution in 'generic-x.el --- A collection of generic modes'

...
  (list
   (function
    (lambda()
      (setq font-lock-defaults '(generic-font-lock-keywords nil t)))))
...

You should be a bit more specific about this, the exact version  
number. Anyway, the best place to report this issue and ask for help  
is another mailing list. To reach this choose "Send Bug Report…" from  
the Help menu. If the version number in the subject line is wrong,  
coming from the working Emacs, then correct it.

Hmmm...although this error may have a different source, I got a similar
pure memory error a few weeks ago.  That has since been resolved, but
you might try an earlier version from CVS, or just use Emacs 22 for a
week, after filing a formal bug report, of course ;)
