When I tried to link (ld -o temacs ...), it failed with the message "ld: Symbol alloca in /lib/libc.a is multiply defined. First defined in alloca.o" I tried several orders of the files in the "ld" command line - even worse. (Ok, I'm not an ld guru...) I tried using s-usg5-3.h instead of s-usg5-2-2.h (s-usg5-2-2.h is suggested) - the same. I RTFM for any useful options of ld - none. I made a local copy of /lib/libc.a and patched all "alloca" to "alxoca". - Now ld completed, and temacs loaded the lisp files, but emacs dumped core. Any help, suggestions, pointers ? Please email to me at the address below. Thanks, Juergen. -- ----------------- Juergen Nickelsen nickelsen@mikroperipherik.e-technik.tu-berlin.dbp.de
