I recently brought over the 18.55 version of GNU emacs. I have successfully installed this on a series of sun sparcstation 330, sparc 1 and 1+ machines, with no problems or glitches at all. everything works great. We also have several silicon graphics personal iris machines 4D1. The operating system on the SGI's is version number 3.3.1 I have built the config.h file according to the only possiblities in the ../etc/MACHINES file as s-iris3-6.h and m-iris4d.h. (note: I also have tried the s-iris3-5.h include file that works with OS 2.5?? and m-irist.h gave many errors at the compilation stage). I don't get any errors in the compilation stage with the former config.h but when xmakefile issues the command: "./temacs -batch -l inc-ver" it returns an error: "*** Termination code 9" which unfortunately helps me little in finding the problem. The SYSLOG file shows that temacs terminates because it ran out of "memory/swap" space. The memory is 16 Mbytes and swap is at 80 Mbytes (needed for other software). I doubt seriously that emacs needs this much room since the sun configurations for the 1+ machines are much smaller than this. I really think I must be doing something stupid because every version of GNU emacs that I have installed before has worked pretty much the first time. Anyone have this version running on similar hardware???? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Rick A.
