[comp.emacs] Installing emacs on SPARCStation running SunOS 4.1

karl@forest.gsfc.nasa.gov (karl anderson ) (11/28/90)

I, too am having problems with this.  Emacs 18.55 builds without
errors on an SS/330, but dumps core when I try to run it.  An identical
machine running OS4.0.3 causes no problems.  Has anybody succeeded in
running 18.55 under 4.1?

  I'm getting the same thing on a 3/60 running 4.1 with Emacs 18.54.
  I'm getting a SIGSEG when I run xemacs (not when doing the 
load with temacs). I haven't had time to run it into the debugger to
see what is going on (or if I'm able to run it through the debugger).
  My hunch is that Sun broke the unexec() function...
