HELP! Date: Tue, 26 Oct 93 18:33:36 EDT Organization: Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 21 Message-ID: <Added.wgnOLbG00Udb8QbU5N@andrew.cmu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: po2.andrew.cmu.edu Okay. This may be a FAQ, but I've looked at all of the FAQ's I can think to look at, and the PROBLEMS file that comes with the distribution, and I still can't get it to work. I'm running NetBSD 0.9 on a 486DX266 motherboard. I downloaded the 19.19 gnu-emacs distribution from prep.ai.mit.edu. I ran "configure i386-foo-386bsd", then gmake MAKE=gmake, then I had to fix a few things in the config.h file like "#define HAVE_MKDIR" and "#define HAVE_XSCREENNUMBEROFSCREEN" to get it to compile finally. temacs runs fine, but the file that gets dumped as emacs isn't an executable (it gives me the error "emacs: 1: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")"). Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I'd be just as happy if someone could provide me with an emacs executable... Thanks, -Todd.
