I compiled GNU Emacs 18.54 with gcc 1.35 on an hp9000/340, with X11. When using DISPLAY=unix:0, and HP's X11 server, starting xemacs causes a system panic... DISPLAY=`hostname`:0 works OK. Does anyone have a fix to this? -- Tor Lillqvist Technical Research Centre of Finland, Computing Services (VTT/ATK) tml@hemuli.atk.vtt.fi [130.188.52.2]

I don't think unix domain sockets are supported till version 3.1 or so. If you are using a version of the operating system without unix domain sockets, then there is no fix (obviously). In any case, you can use the workaround you mentioned, it will only be marginally slower. BTW, "unix:0" is never really valid, it ought to be "localhost:0". regards, fletcher Fletcher E.
