Re: [ILUG-BOM] problem starting emacs

Okay, since you've reached this point, it's easy to debug the problem (I hope!:)) Basically, even if you don't _use_ the functions in a dynamically linked library, those libraries have to be _present_ when the dynamic linker does its load-time linking. This linker has no clue that the missing symbol resolutions are actually insignificant because you're using a command-line "-nw" So, just install all the libraries that it wants, or else look for an Emacs version compiled without X support. (I believe SuSE has two versions of Emacs? It certainly has multiple versions of GS.) Once you get the missing libraries installed, the "emacs -nw" will work fine. Shuvam
