I assume you mean 21.2.1, if it's the version that comes with RedHat 7.3? Does it happen if you start Emacs this way: emacs -q --no-site-file If not, then the problem is probably in your ~/.emacs file (or possibly something in the system default files). If there is nothing obviously wrong with your .emacs, enter M-: (setq debug-on-error t) or turn on the "Enter debugger on error" option from the Options menu, provoke the error again, and post the resulting backtrace.
