The thread in the gnu.org list seems the most promising. The thread in
the debian list seemed to die without published solution. I decided to
investigate further my case following the gnu.org list, and here is what
I found:
user@site:~$ locate rgb.txt
/etc/xplanet/rgb.txt
/usr/share/doc/libgd-graph-perl/examples/samples/rgb.txt.gz
/usr/share/emacs/21.4/etc/rgb.txt
/usr/share/xplanet/rgb.txt
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt
Now,
user@site:~$ ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2005-11-01 20:11 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt
-> /etc/X11/rgb.txt
(a symlink)
and
user@site:~$ ls /etc/X11/rgb.txt
ls: /etc/X11/rgb.txt: No such file or directory
(that points nowhere)
Besides, my xorg.conf has no reference to that file
user@site:~$ ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
user@site:~$ grep rgb /etc/X11/xorg.conf
user@site:~$
Can someone with working emacs check and see if they have this file
in their systems (sid)? Any other ideas?
Thank you all
