I've built epoch 4.2 under SunOS 4.1 (both Sun3 and Sun4) and Ultrix 4.1
(DECstation) and have a similar problem with all three binaries.

"M-x shell" and "M-x gdb" both exit with "Process shell exited abnormally
with code 1".

I know that the shell isn't getting started up because I changed my SHELL
variable to point to a little script that logged each usage to a file.
When I did "M-x shell" in an emacs window it worked, but nothing was logged
under epoch.

I'd appreciate any solutions or even pointers toward debugging this problems!

I've had that happen.  Takes quite a hunt to find the reason, but
solution is pretty simple.  Emacs is unable to find the program named
"env" which normally lives in the emacs-lib/etc directory.  Either you
didn't install right or you did a 'make clean' when you shouldn't
have.  Try a "make env" in the epoch/etc directory.
