[Mac-emacs-users] Rebuilt Emacs.app hangs

[Robert L. <rl...@ne...>]

I had Emacs.app running fine on my OSX box.  Then came the security 
update and even after rebuilding from scratch I can't get Emacs.app to 
run correctly.  It just hangs.

[eagle:~] rlove% which emacs
/usr/local/bin/emacs

When I run  emacs from the command line as "emacs -nw" I get an emacs 
that runs in the terminal and seems to work just fine.  The above shows 
I'm getting the rebuilt version.

If I double click on Emacs.app I see the app launch, the screen  appear, 
it splits with an error in the bottom half that reads:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function x-selection-exists-p)
   (x-selection-exists-p)
   (and (x-selection-exists-p) (not buffer-read-only))
   sit-for(120)
   command-line-1(nil)
   command-line()
   normal-top-level()

And when I go C-X C-f to load a file I see the minibuffer have a prompt 
for me to enter the file name and the program  hangs.  I can't even 
click on the window to bring to the foreground after moving to another 
app.  I must use Force Quit to kill it.  Same if I launch Emacs and use 
the menu to try and start gnus.

Why does the command line version run just fine, with no error msg but 
the app version has problems?  All advice appreciated.
