Re: emacs giving fatal error on new installation
This is just something for the think tank. I thing Dale is more than
likely correct, but a few months ago I was getting segmentation faults
whenever I would try to run man (maybe some others I don't remember right
now). The problem was that for some reason when I installed linuxconf, I
believe, and changed files back manually it stopped setting my hostname.
I don't understand it but when I set the hostname it stopped giving me the
error. I just wanted to throw another possibility in for you to think
about.
