Subject: Emacs 24.3 not compiling on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
Date: Sun, 22 Jun 2014 23:36:46 +0200

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

When compiling Emacs 24.3 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 the compilation
crashes with a segmentation fault from temacs, see snippet from make output
below. Configure was run with:
  ./configure --prefix=/users/abb/temp/install_emacs24_3
Emacs 23.3 works fine. Further down shown output from Emacs 24.3 configure
output.

Thanks for the report. Please could you try:

http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-24.3.91.tar.xz

and say how that goes?

BTW, 24.3 builds fine for me on RHEL 5.10 x86_64.

I don't know what's going on with things like

  /import/vne/bin/ld: warning: i386:x86-64 architecture of input file
  `/usr/lib64/crt1.o' is incompatible with i386 output

in your build. You seem to have an entire separate tree of stuff in
/import/vnetest?

Hi Glenn,

In my PATH (/import/vne/bin) I pointed to a 32-bit 'ld' version, but was
compiling on a 64-bit REHL5 machine. After removing /import/vne/bin from
PATH compilation went fine. Thanks for your quick response. You can close
this bug.

Kind regards,
Axel

PS: Thanks Uli
