bug#64500: More information

[William Lightner via "Bug reports for GNU Emacs, the Swiss army knife of text editors" <bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org>]

The Cygwin64 version works for me under XWindows on Windows 10, too.   But every time I install 28.1 or 28.2 it generates this constant stream of pop-up errors until I kill it.  Even re-installed 27 does this now, and it worked fine before the upgrade to 28.

Unfortunately, I am pretty new to emacs so the error reporting thus far has been unhelpful.  I have determined that it appears to be failing during compilation of at least some scripts, which rings a very faint bell, as if I've seen this before and have just forgotten the resolution.  I haven't had time yet to pursue that thought, though.


Thanks for the reply & information.

William Lightner

Why does Emacs compile *.el files?  It isn't supposed to that when you start it.

Anyway, I'm sorry to say that I don't understand what happens in your case according to what you describe.  The GIO error message you show in the original report seem to point to librsvg, but that is all I can say.  The backtraces you post can only be interpreted on your system; see the node "Crashing" in the Emacs user manual for how to convert them to more useful ones if you have the necessary tools installed.

That's all I can say, sorry.  These Emacs versions work flawlessly for me, FWIW.
