Re: [Fink-devel] xemacs-1:21.4.22-6

[Giacomo M. D'A. <da...@un...>]

Dear Alexander

thank you very much for your email.

Yes, I look at https://sourceforge.net/p/fink/mailman. is it the right place?

Unfortunately I already tried your suggested solution.

With fink self-updated and updated-all, I tried again.

I did:

sudo fink rebuild xemacs

I rebooted, and even used a brand new user!
From the command:

/sw/bin/xemacs

I get:

Error: attempt to add non-widget child "Progress" to parent "clip-window" which supports only widgets


I’m using the last version of XQuartz 2.7.9 and of xemacs 11.21.4.22-6

If you kindly solve the problem, I can start back working to my scientific papers…

Your help would be greately appreciated.
