[comp.emacs] GNU Emacs on VMS 5.0 anyone done this or are we stupid?

chpf127@ut-emx.UUCP (J. Eaton) (09/24/88)

Have any other GNU Emacs/VMS users upgraded to VMS version 5.0?  We have a VAX-
station II, running VMS and GNU Emacs version 18.49.  When we upgraded to 
VMS 5.0, we could no longer run Emacs.  We are currently trying to recompile 
and relink a new version.  

Has anyone else had similar problems?

Building the new version fails with the following error message:

	"Pure Lisp storage exhausted" 

We've tried increasing PURESIZE (in both config.h and s-vms.h), with no 
success.  Any suggestions, pointers, etc.?
