Another familiar problem! I had the same problem also installing SLS 1.02. The
first time I installed it, I installed everything and emacs worked. I then
corrupted my partition table somehow and had to reformat and install. This time
I did not install the 10 x* disks because the new XFree86 1.3 is out and I
planned on upgrading immediately. Unfortunately, emacs core dumped all the
time. I went ahead and upgraded to 0.99-10 and NET-2 and grabbed emacs-19.13
at the same time. After I got 0.99-10 running, I tried to use emacs-19.13 and
it complained about some X11* libs missing. I installed the /lib/X11* libs from
SLS 1.02 and emacs-19.13 started working. On a hunch, I tried the old emacs,
and it works now also! I'm not sure, but it may be possible that emacs needs
the /lib/X11* libs from the SLS 1.02 x1 disk. I just mcopy'd it to /tmp and
untared from there. You might want to see if this solves the problem. Otherwise
you'll have to suffer with jove like I did. ;-) Good Luck.
