Eng. Lines: 13 I recently made gnuemacs 18.55 for a Sparc station running Sun OS 4.0.3. Everything seems to run fine, except for one small problem. When I try to open the shell buffer with the M-x shell command, I receive the following error message: Process shell exited abnormally with code 1 The shell window opens fine, but for some reason, no shell process seems to be able to run. I took a look at the source code, but I really couldn't figure out what's going wrong. Does anybody out there have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
