I have been trying to build gnuemacs on a sun3/180 with sun3 nfp os4
(we have some nfp, and some fp, so I am building one version...don't
*think* this should screw me up -- it worked under os3).

When I try to fire up emacs on an xterm or on a vt10x, I get:

Fatal Error (6).

then a core dump.  If I run it as root in an xterm, I get:
 
xterm: Can't execvp emacs.  

Fatal error 6 in <sys/errno.h> is 

#define ENXIO           6               /* No such device or address */

Anyone got a quick answer to why this is happening?  Muchly obliged!
