I just built 18.26 GNU after having successfully run 17.64 for some time. Everything compiled just fine, but when I run it I get the complaint `No X.', and it aborts. Nothing else has changed, the DISPLAY environment variable is fine, and I even tried specifying a display explicitly with the -d option. The machine is a VaxStation II with protocol version 10.3 of X. Anyone seen this problem? -- Dan Frank uucp: ... uwvax!prairie!dan arpa: dan%caseus@spool.wisc.edu

I built it on our 785 and it ran correctly. The "No X" error means that XOpenDisplay failed inside the gnuemacs X driver, which either means that your machine was not xhosted or that the DISPLAY variable was wrong, although it sounds like the latter was not the case. If you are still having this problem, could you please mail me the exit status of the editor? The exit status encodes the failure mode, and it would be useful in helping me track the problem down. -- Robert^Z
