I am running emacs version 18.53 in SunOS 4.0.3 under an X11R3 interace. When I try to use the dbx library supplied with the 18.53 distribution it doesn't work. I load the dbx library, then execute a run-dbx on a program (that was compiled with a -g). The command creates a separate window for dbx but bombs out before dbx starts up with : -------------------- warning: can't read stats dbx: fatal error: No such device or address Process dbx-stats finished ------------------ In addition, the X interface mouse-key bindings get all messed up once I try the run-dbx command. The program, stats, exists and has complete r/w privilages. Inferior shell spawing works fine on my system. I tried to trace the execution of the routine, but I'm not a lisp expert. ________________________________________ So is there anything I'm doing wrong (any variables that I should set). Has anyone else had success with the dbx interface or is it a bug. Should I upgrade to a newer version? Please respond via email, I will post a summary. Joe Lawrence (jcl@sabre.bellcore.com)
