A thousand pardons if you've seen this before, but when I posted this before, the silence was deafening. (Maybe I just posted to the local area.) I've been trying to get GNU Emacs running on an Apollo DN3500, running SR10.2. The source has been downloaded from prep.ai.mit.edu and built, after I changed apollo.c to use 'gpr_$function_keys' instead of 'gpr_$function_keys' and changed paths.h to reflect my local work directories instead of /gnuemacs. Everything seem to build correctly, but emacs will not run. It seems to be reading the /etc/termcap file, because an error message is produced that says the following: emacs: Terminal type "apollo_1280_bw" is not powerful enough to run Emacs. 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. The file apollo-update-18.54/src/m-apollo-h is included by config.h and contains the line #undef LIBS_TERMCAP which supposedly will prevent the use of the system's termcap and use the Apollo GPR support that Leonard Zubkoff has written. I would be glad to have my stupid error pointed out to me. I have read TFM to no avail, and I can't find anyone here that can tell me my problem. To build GNU Emacs, I copied the dist-18.54 directory tree, then copied the apollo-update-18.54 directory over the first. -- David Phillips sasdvp@sas.UUCP ...!mcnc!rti!sas!sasdvp
