Xemacs: strange errors
Today I tried to install xemacs, but I haven't been successful in running
it. First, I tried to install the packages xemacs19_19.15-3.1.deb and
xemacs19-support_19.15-3.1.deb from hamm, since I have been following the
hamm tree for a while now. But instead of a nice program, I got this:
$ xemacs
xemacs: can't resolve symbol '__sigsetjmp'
Does anybody know why this happens?
I then removed these and tried to install xemacs_19.14-1.deb and
xemacs-support_19.14-1.deb from bo, but then I got
$ xemacs
Segmentation Fault (core dumped).

It seems all the libraries are in place. I don't know any more of gdb than
the 'quit' command, so I exited gdb.
Then I tried xemacs20_20.2-1.deb and xemacs20-support_20.2-1.deb from
hamm, but it crashed immediately with a whole lot of error messages, of
which the last was:
Aborted (core dumped)

So, what's the problem? I have updated all packages in my system to the
latest hamm version. Xemacs is the only program I have of which both the
hamm and bo versions don't work on my system.
