Before I start I would just like to say that this question has
probably been asked several times before and I apologize for
asking it again.

We have just installed SUN OS 4.1.1 on a Sparcstation and 
now I am trying to make emacs for the new system.
We also have X11R4 but it HAS NOT been recompiled as of yet
(but will be in about a week).

So here is my problem... I changed config.h to use
m-sparc.h and s-sunos4.h and updated the paths.h file to
use some appropriate paths and all seems to go well.
I do a make all in the dist directory and it happily goes
along and builds an xemacs and a emacs-18.55.1 file.
But when I run the file I get
Fatal error (6).Abort (core dumped)
Now dbx tells me it is coming from malloc (See below)
kill() at 0x76b58
abort() at 0x7a9dc
malloc(n = 5), line 515 in "malloc.c"
copystring() at 0x7354c
_XConnectDisplay() at 0x73604
XOpenDisplay() at 0x6ab70
x_term_init(), line 1534 in "x11term.c"
init_display(), line 1411 in "dispnew.c"
main(argc = 1, argv = 0xf7fffafc, envp = 0xf7fffb04), line 354 in "emacs.c"

Is this because the X11 files haven't been recompiled under the
new OS or is there something basic that I am doing wrong ?

I would really appreciate any help anyone could give me.
Either reply via e-mail to me below or post to gnu.emacs.help.

Thanks in advance
