Hi all -

   I recently attempted my first install of 18.55 on a Sparc IPC
(SunOS4.1).  Everything unpacked fine and the installation went well
(after editing a few files to customize things (like where emacs'll
reside, etc.)).  When running xemacs, though, it comes up ok, but
gives me:

   Bare impure Emacs (standard Lisp code not loaded)

in the status line. Emacs in this state is pretty worthless (read: it doesn't
work). Hopefully, the fix for this is trivial, but since I'm not the least
bit familiar with how emacs is installed, it's requirements, etc., I'm lost.
I did RTFM(s), but didn't come across any reference to the above message.

   Any and all comments are appreciated!

--Brian
