	Hi, 

	I'm new to this group, so if this question has been asked before,
please be kind.
	I have been trying to install epoch-4.0p0  on a DecStation 3100 with 
Ultrix 4.2. Neither the debugger nor the info reader is working.
I suspect there may exist a problem with [mc]alloc, but I'm really not sure.
When the info reader is invoked it seems to point into another file that
exists in my home directory. ( an INBOX ) and barfs with an error

	Symbol's value as variable is void: From

I have been using emacs and reading that news group for nearly four years,
and have never heard of this one.

	The installation steps I have taken so far are;

	1, copy $BUILD/src/config.h-dist to config.h
	   replace "config/s-sunos4-1.h" with
	           "config/s-bsd4-3.h" ( I also tried "config/s-bsd4-2.h")
	   replace "config/m-sparc.h" with
                   "config/m-pmax.h"
	( I didn't want to build in the *right* place until I was sure
	it would work. $BUILD == ~/epoch-4.0p0 ) 


	2, Copy $BUILD/ascii/conf.h-dist to config.h
	   replace "../src/config/m-vax.h" with
	           "../src/config/m-pmax.h"


	3, Copy src/paths.h-dist to src/paths.h
 	   replace all occurances of "/usr/local/epoch" with
	                             "$BUILD"
	
	4, Copy ascii/paths.h-dist to ascii/paths.h
 	   replace all occurances of "/usr/local/epoch" with
	                             "$BUILD"
  
	5, Edit build-install
 	   replace all occurances of "/usr/local/epoch" with
	                             "$BUILD"

	6, Examine src/paths.h - it's OK.

	7, Examine lisp/paths.el - it's OK.

	8, Examine compiler switches in src/ymakefile, ascii/ymakefile. - OK

	9, Edit Makefile,
 	   replace all occurances of "/usr/local/epoch" with
	                             "$BUILD"

	   replace /usr/local/bin with ~/bin.
	   replace /usr/local/man with ~/man.

	10, make install.

	The compilation runs to completion without any significant complaints.
	Generally, the entire system works. ( I'm writing this memo on it )

	Anyone who has seen this behavior is urged to write to me.


	Thanks in advance 
	Mark.
