Re: [Bug-apl] Cannot find libemacs on older mac

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi, I haven't changed anything in that area. One poster in one of the links below mentioned that an OS-X upgrade had fixed a similar problem that the poster had, so my impression is that this is a problem than cannot be fixed inside GNU APL.

I have to admit that I haven't tried the Emacs mode on OSX in a while since I don't use Macs anymore. That said, last time I did try, it worked fine. Jürgen, could there be an issue with the way the libraries are built? Did anything change in the last couple of years?

Unfotunately shared libraries are rather platform dependent and so are the error messages that they produce. From the output below it seems that the file libemacs.dylib exists and was found, but could not be opened with dlopen(). It might be that your platform needs additional linker flags for dynamic libraries to work, but I have no idea which ones.
