Emacs problem

[Tom Satinet]

Hello!

I've installed Emac on an N4000. I believe i have the dependancies covered. I also believe this can be run in a terminal, as i am using telnet to remotly connect to the server.

When i run # emacs i get the following error:

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't open shared library: /usr/local/lib/libXpm.sl
/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory
ABORT instruction (core dumped)

I am not sure what libXpm.sl is and have not been able to locate it. Does it have something to do with the X server (which i don't want to run emacs in). Any help is appreciate :-)

Try:

export SHLIB_PATH=$SHLIB_PATH:/usr/local/lib

or add /usr/local/lib in /etc/SHLIB_PATH

Try installing XPM package available at http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/X11/Graphics/xpm-3.4k/

Was this a depot install or a compile?

If it was a compile you may need to make source code changes to make it work on HP-UX.

If its a depot install I'd try Nelson's idea first.

Although, it is very possible Xpm is not installed on his server SEP..

Thanks i installed XPM from the utah mirror. For some reason i hadn't been able to find it on the UK one. I also had to install 'libungif' but it now works.

Thanks very much for the speedy response :-)
