I spent some time Monday trying to get GNU Emacs 18.57 compiled using GCC under Concentrix 5.5.03, and was in fact able to get it to compile, but it crashes with a "hangup" message after I try to move around using control keys, hit return, etc. Control keys appear on screen in caret notation (^N, etc.) rather than being received and used for movement. It does load and display text correctly, and no error messages were issued during compilation aside from a few warnings about implicitly extern variables being used in static fashion. Anyone have any helpful hints as to where in the code to look to investigate such behavior? BTW, I subsequently obtained and compiled Epoch, and it seems to work fine. There is one nagging thing about it, but it seems to be (probably) unrelated to the problem with 18.57. Thanks for any clues. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jonathan David Abbey \ "Dudez!
