- Today I decided to upgrade to a newer version of emacs (I'm using emacs
- 18.55), so I ftp-ed the source of emacs 18.59 from prep.ai.mit.edu and
- compiled it. All worked well. I got xemacs, I made the $EMACS dir (in
- /usr/local/lib/emacs), installed the files into the etc/ lisp/ ...
- directories and then tried to run emacs.
-
- I got this message
-
- Fatal error (11).Segmentation fault (core dumped)
-
- I looked at the offending line with the debugger and I found that it
- is:
-
- fileio.c: line 2068: buf = XCONS (XCONS (tail)->car)->cdr;
-
- in the function Fdo_auto_save.
-
- I looked at the PROBLEMS file, but there is nothing about this error,
- unless someting about a possible problem with XCONS. It says that
- it is fixed by defining NO_UNION_TYPE in config.h, but that symbol is
- already defined in my m-... file ...
-
- Can anyone help me?
-
- Thank you in advance.
