[comp.sys.sgi] GNU emacs 18.47 on iris 3030 release 3.4 unix

paul@uoregon.UUCP (paul e. bloch) (12/03/87)

I'm trying to get GNU emacs 18.47 running on our iris 3030
running release 3.5 unix.  When you try to start it, it aborts
with this message:
Fatal error (11).emacs-18.47.6: Segmentation violation -- Core dumped

My config.h has the lines:

#include "s-iris3-5.h"
#include "m-irist.h"

and it compiles with no errors.  Any suggestions?

We had same problm while we installed GNU EMacs on our Iris 3130. But was that
we had older version probably 18.44 or so which did not have include
files made for Iris, and were trying to use home made header files.
But 18.46 and then 18.47 were installed later without
any problems.

You can try increasing the swap space by taking some space out of your
/usr which would allow to emacs loaded entirely if that was the problem,
which might help. Other than that I donot see anything wrong in any
files distributed with 18.47 as for us that installation was straight
forward.
