The only source file (from the 21.5 tree, however) that has any code found
in the errors you posted is xmu.c. Grepping the strings from XEmacs.dmp
doesn't turn up any of the error messages here. XEmacs doesn't produce crash
reports that look like this. I suspect the error is lower level. Perhaps
it is triggered by code in xmu.c, but it could just be from one of the
dynamic load libraries. What is your stack size (greater than 8megs
recommended)? You sent an error report to xemacs-crashes earlier, did
anyone offer help from that? What happens when you enter the following at
the xterm prompt?
/path/to/xemacs -vanilla
Here is my configuration (based on compiling 21.5.b11 +CVS20030403, no fink)
#!/bin/sh
XEMACSDEBUG="(setq stack-trace-on-error t)"
export XEMACSDEBUG
./configure --with-mule --with-widgets=athena --with-xfs --with-dialogs=athena \
--package-path=/usr/local/sbin/xemacs/lib --prefix=/usr/local/sbin/xemacs \
--with-prefix --with-sound=noesd '--cflags=-O3 -no-cpp-precomp' --pdump --with-ldap=no
By the way, I was never able to get a 21.4 version of XEmacs to run reliably
under XDarwin/Oroborosx on my PB G4 (800 MHz, 768 ram) with or without fink.
XEmacs is very finnicky about its environment, and many platforms do not
have pre-compiled binaries because of problems with dumping.
I couldn't get the 21.4 files to compile, but from 21.5.9 forward the beta
version has compiled and run fine (except for some CVSs of 21.5.10).
