Building 24.3 Problem

Building 24.3 Problem

[Walter Esling]

Hello,

I'm building 24.3 on Oracle Linux for personal use (I have no root access).
The build completed without error and emacs runs, but it is unable to save
modified buffers. The message comes up "Saving file ...", but the file is
never saved and buffer is left modified.
Any ideas on where I may have gone wrong in the build process?

thanks,

Sounds like a bug.

Maybe try edebug at basic-save-buffer

Would it expect following
run-hook-with-args-until-success

Does this problem still happen if you start emacs as "emacs -Q"?

If not, crystal ball says that you are adding something to
write-file-functions, or some other hook, in your .emacs, which returns
nil:

C-h v write-file-functions

   List of functions to be called before writing out a buffer to a file.
   If one of them returns non-nil, the file is considered already written[...]

Sorry, I meant "returns non-nil".

Thanks for all the suggestions. Files can be saved when I run with "-Q". So I'll look into my .emacs.

Thanks again for all your help.
