[comp.lang.scheme.c] Problems with 7.1 and Gnu Emacs on HP's

ruf@dolores.Stanford.EDU (Erik Ruf) (01/25/91)

Hi,
	I recently upgraded to Scheme 7.1 (beta) on our HP9000/350's
and 835's.  It seems to work fine, except that the debugger no longer
functions under gnuemacs; it prints some messages and hangs until you
exit the debug REPL.  The mode line flag doesn't change either.  I'm
using gnuemacs 18.55 and xscheme.el with the following header:

    ;;; $Header: xscheme.el,v 1.23 89/04/28 22:59:40 GMT cph Rel $

This version of xscheme.el worked fine with the alpha version of 7.1 I
picked up off zurich last spring....

A transcript follows: I get similar results on the 3xx and 8xx
machines (using compiled runtime from the distribution in both cases).

Any help would be appreciated.

Please get "archive/scheme-7.1/xscheme.el" from "altdorf.ai.mit.edu".
The current version number of 1.27 is required for release 7.1.

My apologies for not having made this available earlier.

The correct version has header

;;; $Header: xscheme.el,v 1.26 90/09/11 01:51:20 GMT cph Exp $

and can be ftp'd from
altdorf.ai.mit.edu:~ftp/archive/scheme-7.1/xscheme.{el,elc}

This will hopefully fix your problems.
