Sorry it took so long to get back; it's been a busy week so far. Anyways, here's the output: % LC_ALL=C ./temacs -batch --eval '(setq debug-on-error t)' -l loadup dump zsh: exec format error: ./temacs I'm not sure if this is useful but here's the output of running file on temacs: % file temacs 0:08 temacs: ELF 32-bit LSB MIPS-I executable, MIPS, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped I also ran file on /bin/ls, which gave back this: % file /bin/ls 0:09 /bin/ls: ELF 32-bit LSB MIPS-I executable, MIPS, version 1 (SYSV), for NetBSD, statically linked, stripped Is the lack of "for NetBSD" significant? Perhaps the compiler isn't compiling for the right operating system? -- -- Skylar Thompson (skylar@cs.earlham.edu) -- http://www.cs.earlham.edu/~skylar/
