when i upgraded from emacs 19 to emacs20 i did the following: apt-get install emacs20 cd /usr/bin ln emacs20 emacs when i tried to open emacs or emacs20 as root it worked fine. when i tried as my normal user i was able to open emacs20 but not emacs and i got this error message: emacs: Cannot open termcap database file when i tried: apt-get update-alternative -config emacs i got this message: E: Opening configuration file onfig - ifstream::ifstream (2 No such file or directory) what do i need to do to correct these errors? do i need to change a configuration file or add one? thank you. --holland
