Richard> I've fetched the newest CVS and compiled under Solaris 5.8. Works fine for me. No problems. Could you please check/try: 1. you also have the newest sysdep.c, i.e. should contain #ifndef VMS #include #endif /* not VMS */ 2. check if /usr/include/sys/file.h contains a define for FASYNC 3. run configure and then rebuild BTW this patch was necessary to make Ctrl-g work in endless loops. I assume if you're trying something like (while t nil) followed by C-j then emacs will loop and you can't interrupt.
