Salut Benoit:
> What is the problem ???
The last error message tells you the problem (with temacs, as you suspected):
> Pure Lisp storage exhausted
As to the causes, well file epoch-4.2/PROBLEMS (line 250) says:
* temacs prints "Pure Lisp storage exhausted"
This means that the Lisp code loaded from the .elc and .el
files during temacs -l loadup inc dump took up more
space than was allocated.
This could be caused by
1) adding code to the preloaded Lisp files
2) adding more preloaded files in loadup.el
3) having a site-init.el or site-load.el which loads files.
Note that ANY site-init.el or site-load.el is nonstandard;
if you have received Emacs from some other site
and it contains a site-init.el or site-load.el file, consider
deleting that file.
4) getting the wrong .el or .elc files
(not from the directory you expected).
5) deleting some .elc files that are supposed to exist.
This would cause the source files (.el files) to be
loaded instead. They take up more room, so you lose.
6) a bug in the Emacs distribution which underestimates
the space required.
If the need for more space is legitimate, change the definition
of PURESIZE in config.h.
But in some of the cases listed above, this problem is a consequence
of something else that is wrong. Be sure to check and fix the real
problem.
One of these probably describes what you need to do . . . or at least might
give you some guidance as to what to try.
