I am trying to install emacs-18.55 on an IRIS 4D/120GTX (IRIX 3.3.1). When the build-install script gets to the ./temacs -batch -l inc-vers the system complains that it runs out of memory/swap space. We have 16Mb memory installed and a swap space of 50Mb. Also, I previously installed emacs-18.55 when we were running IRIX 3.2 and encountered no problems. (BTW, I am trying to reinstall so that emacs will take advantage of the X windows environment we are now running. Regardless of whether ``HAVE_X_WINDOWS'' is #defined, the above problem occurs.) Any ideas would be appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim Mason Systems Management Group NASA/Marshall Space Flight Centre +1 205 544 2122

There is a recursion problem with the getcwd call in emacs.
At the end of the header file s-iris3-6.h append:
/* needed under irix 3.3 */
#define HAVE_GETWD
And build away! BTW, Epoch needs the same fix.

With the addition of this #define, the installation proceeded without further problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim Mason Systems Management Group NASA/Marshall Space Flight Centre +1 205 544 2122
