After fixing the /usr/bin/emacs symlink (because even though I didn't install
any X stuff, I still got the X version of emacs, and it's symlink ... hint:
I think X version of emacs should be moved to X applications, even for Intel),
I got the following error message:
Opening input file: no such file or directory, /usr/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias
Suspecting it's just looking in the wrong place I made a symlink as follows:
root@spica:/etc# mkdir -m 755 /usr/lib/X11
root@spica:/etc# ln -s ../../share/locale /usr/lib/X11/locale
to see if this would fix it. That did fix it. I'm guessing the wrong prefix
or path was used, or defaulted, during compilation of emacs. I wouldn't call
this a beta stopper, but I'd like to see it fixed for the full release.
I have another suggestion for the public beta release. Create a file called
"README.beta.testing" or something like that, and put little notes in it for
things that you don't have time to fix yet, like:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem: X not installed, emacs gives an error for library libXaw.so.6
Explanation: X version of emacs was installed and it configured the command
Workaround: Change the symlink to the non-X version
Command: ln -fs emacs-20.7-no-x11 /usr/bin/emacs
Problem: non-X emacs cannot find /usr/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias
Explanation: Probable configuration error
Workaround: Make a symlink to redirect locale data:
Commands: mkdir -m 755 /usr/lib/X11
ln -s ../../share/locale /usr/lib/X11/locale
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And the smaller it gets, the closer to full release :-)
BTW, I'm about to install to my smaller 5/70 which has 48meg and 3gig.
