I have been trying to get GNU-EMACS working on my SUN 4.
Actually I have Emacs working, but with some problems.
I have two main problems that I know of right now.
I am running a SUN 4, with SUNOS 4.03, and with SUN Common
Lisp 4.0 and with GNU-EMACS 18.57.2. AND I am running the
X-window server on a different SUN 4.
1) When I run under Open Look (the SUN X windowing environment),
or just under X11 for that matter, the Emacs buffer will not
respond (correctly) to my mouse. When I mouse on text in the
emacs buffer I just get two beeps, instead of the cursor
moving to where I moused. Interestingly enough, I can do
this in the Sun View (instead of Open Look, or X11)
environment. We tried to set the flags correctly for the
installation process.
2) My second problem relates to my wanting to use EMACS with
KEE, an expert system development tool that runs on Common Lisp.
I want to start up KEE in an emacs buffer as an inferior lisp
process and thereby be able to incrementally compile, etc Lisp
code into the KEE lisp environment. compile functions in the
emacs buffer (using for example, lisp-compile-defun) it works
sometimes, but other times it chokes with a message in the EMACS
mini-buffer that says something like "no more processes; cmulisp").
At that point the ability to process lisp in the cmulisp buffer
is gone too, and it behaves like a plain old text buffer. I use
some files from Sun Common Lisp called cmulisp, and comint, which
provide the inferior lisp capability.
----------------
Does anyone recognize these problems?
I have just recently subscribed to the help list so am
not sure if I will be getting the help-list mail yet.
Would you send any suggestions to me directly, in addition
to the help-list if you deem it appropriate?
Thank you,
Curt Goodhart
