Emacs isn't working for me after Leopard installation: [fiddle:~] joe% which emacs /sw/bin/emacs [fiddle:~] joe% emacs Fatal malloc_jumpstart() error
I followed instructions, doing a fink selfupdate and a fink reinstall fink. This produced no errors, and I was able to compile and install a package (unrar) after the update. Alas, no such happines with emacs21 (below). Suggestions would be appreciated.
