Compile/build of GNU emacs 21.4 fails on Fedora FC-6.
The last file created in the SRC dir is 'temacs'.
This problem is very similar to previous problems
running the "dumper". A good description of that
problem can be found at
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/17457
A couple of solutions are offered, but neither of these works
on my FC-6 test1 system:
>- Turn off Exec-shield:
>
> echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/exec-shield
>
>- Temporarily disable Exec-shield while building Emacs, using the
> `setarch' command:
>
> setarch i386 ./configure ...
> setarch i386 make ...
I'd like to find out if this problem new to FC-6?
Discussions of this problem with previous Fedora are
a couple of years old.
Thanks,
Ab
