I have problem installing GNU Emacs (the test dist-18.56, which I got around 5th of October): build-install ============= gives me the following error messages: cc -g -Demacs -D_BSD -c hftctl.c 217 | sav_alrm = signal( 14, hft_alrm ) ;/* prepare to catch time out .........a........................................................ a - 1506-152: (W) Operands are pointers to different types. */ and it fails on the finaly stage of building Emacs: /local/gnu/emacs-18.56/src: make make -f xmakefile all ./temacs -nl -batch -l inc-vers Loading inc-vers...

It lacks the ability to position the cursor. If that is not the actual type of terminal you have, use the C-shell command `setenv TERM ...' to specify the correct type. It may be necessary to do `unsetenv TERMCAP' as well. emacs: Killing some buffers may delay running out of memory. However, certainly by the time you receive the 95% warning, you should clean up, kill this Emacs, and start a new one. *Danger*Memory exhaus tedconslistmake-listmake-vectorvectormake-symbolmake-markermake-stringPure Lisp storage exhaustedPure Lisp storage exhaustedPure Lisp storage exhaustedpurecopyA ttempt to copy a marker to pure storagegarbage-collectGarbage collecting...Garba ge collecting...donegc-cons-thresholdpure-bytes-usedpurify-flagundo-thresholdund o-high-thresholdwrite-charwith-output-to-temp-bufferterpriprin1prin1-to-stringpr incprintApparently circular structure being printed#<EMACS BUG: ILLEGAL DATATYPE (#o%3o) Save your buffers immediately and please report this bug>%d... . #<kill ed buffer>#<buffer #<process #<window %d on #<window-configuration>#<marker in n o bufferat %d in #<subr standard-outputstandard-outputprint-lengthprint-escape-n ewlinesAttempt to modify read-only objecteqnullconspatomlistpnlistpintegerpnatnu mpsymbolpvectorpstringparraypsequencepbufferpmarkerpinteger-or-marker-psubrpchar -or-string-pcarcar-safecdrcdr-safesetcarsetcdrboundpfboundpmakunboundfmakunbound symbol-functionsymbol-plistsymbol-namefsetsetplistsymbol-valuedefault-valuesetse t-defaultsetq-defaultmake-variable-buffer-localvMake Variable Buffer Local: Symb ol %s may not be buffer-localmake-local-variablevMake Local Variable: Symbol %s may not be buffer-localkill-local-variablevKill Local Variable: arefaset=<><=>=/ =zeropint-to-string%dstring-to-int+-*/%maxminlogandlogiorlogxorashlsh1+1-lognotq uotelambdasubrerror-conditionserror-messagetop-levelerrorquitwrong-type-argument args-out-of-rangevoid-functionvoid-variablesetting-constantinvalid-read-syntaxin valid-functionwrong-number-of-argumentsno-catchend-of-filearith-errorbeginning-o f-bufferend-of-bufferbuffer-read-onlylistpconspsymbolpintegerpnatnumpstringparra ypsequencepbufferpvectorpchar-or-string-pmarkerpinteger-or-marker-pboundpfboundp cdrerrorQuitWrong type argumentArgs out of rangeSymbol's function definition is voidSymbol's value as variable is voidAttempt to set a constant symbolInvalid re ad syntaxInvalid functionWrong number of argumentsNo catch for tagEnd of file du ring parsingArithmetic errorBeginning of bufferEnd of bufferBuffer is read-only@ -
