Dear MacPorts-users,

I am running 10.5.1 on a PowerBook G4 1.67GHz machine. I tried installing emacs, but end up with an error.

Strange thing is the only mention of such a problem is with the emacs-devel package - hopefully I am just missing something simple.

Thanks,
Bertrand

$ sudo port clean emacs

$ sudo port install emacs +x11

make[1]: *** [emacs] Abort trap
make[1]: *** Deleting file `emacs'
make: *** [src] Error 2

That might be the same problem I had building emacs +gtk on 10.5 ppc.

I found this patch that seems to solve the problem if I build from source outside of ports:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.bugs/16867

I submitted a bug in trac, but I guess it hasn't been acted on yet.

You could possibly download the source and build it and install somewhere like /opt/emacs until the port is fixed.
