I compiled GNU Emacs 18.54 with gcc 1.35 on an hp9000/340, with X11. When using DISPLAY=unix:0, and HP's X11 server, starting xemacs causes a system panic... DISPLAY=`hostname`:0 works OK. Does anyone have a fix to this? -- Tor Lillqvist Technical Research Centre of Finland, Computing Services (VTT/ATK) tml@hemuli.atk.vtt.fi [130.188.52.2]

I don't think unix domain sockets are supported till version 3.1 or so. If you are using a version of the operating system without unix domain sockets, then there is no fix (obviously). In any case, you can use the workaround you mentioned, it will only be marginally slower. BTW, "unix:0" is never really valid, it ought to be "localhost:0". regards, fletcher Fletcher E.

It is only the personal opinion of the author and does not reflect the opinion, policy, or support of the Hewlett-Packard Company. ] I assume that you are running HP-UX 6.01 (or possibly 6.2 -- I can't remember if this problem exists in 6.2). This is a known problem, and has been fixed in HP-UX 6.5. You can do one of two things to avoid it: 1. Use DISPLAY=`hostname`:0 instead of DISPLAY=unix:0 2. Upgrade to HP-UX 6.5 (By the way, X11 is included in this version). As a side note, in HP-UX 6.5 you have to specify "local:0", instead of "unix:0" (I believe this was changed due to copyright restrictions). -- Darryl Okahata darrylo%hpnmd@hpcea.HP.COM
