I'm not sure about 21.3, but I definately know that 21.2.3 works on Alpha running Tru64 V5.1B (with some open source libs - which are available at HP). Libraries which are open source may or may not be free software; also, even if they are free software, their licenses may or may not be compatible with the GPL. Could you please show me the precise licenses of the necessary libraries? (The names would be useful too.) Once I get that info, I can record the appropriate info about this configuration. I am thinking about downloading the latest and trying it out on Tru64. Do you mean Emacs 21.3, or the current development version? It would be useful to test either one, or both of them separately.
