Today I decided to upgrade to a newer version of emacs (I'm using emacs 18.55), so I ftp-ed the source of emacs 18.59 from prep.ai.mit.edu and compiled it. All worked well. I got xemacs, I made the $EMACS dir (in /usr/local/lib/emacs), installed the files into the etc/ lisp/ ... directories and then tried to run emacs. I got this message Fatal error (11).Segmentation fault (core dumped) I looked at the offending line with the debugger and I found that it is: fileio.c: line 2068: buf = XCONS (XCONS (tail)->car)->cdr; in the function Fdo_auto_save. I looked at the PROBLEMS file, but there is nothing about this error, unless someting about a possible problem with XCONS. It says that it is fixed by defining NO_UNION_TYPE in config.h, but that symbol is already defined in my m-... file ... Can anyone help me? Thank you in advance.
