I built the pretest 23.0.91 under my home directory on machine A, and ran it on machibe B which mounts the same home direcotory, but Emacs starts up normally. The value of the variable data-directory is "/home/handa/emacs-23.0.91/etc/". Next, I moved etc/charsets to etc/charsets.tmp and ran Emacs on machine A and B. In both cases, this message was shown. Error: charsets directory (/home/handa/emacs-23.0.91/etc/charsets) does not exist. Emacs will not function correctly without the character map files. Please check your installation! So, the shown directory is the correct place. > At the very least, Emacs should not coredump. Emacs 22.3 doesn't > coredump. I fixed it. Now even if Emacs can't find etc/charsets, Emacs can be used at least for handling ASCII text. --- Kenichi Handa handa@m17n.org
