I'm not using 21.4.18 regularly yet for other reasons. Continuing with the guess work, did you move the old xemacs to /usr/local? Have you checked if the old xemacs depends on libraries you don't currently have? (i.e. cygcheck /usr/local/bin/i686-pc-cygwin/xemacs-21.4.13) Please keep replies to the list. -- René Berber -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
