Subject: Gnu-emacs on FreeBSD 2.0 CD-ROM - just plain won't run Message-ID: <dva.75.001D4943@syncro.com> Lines: 20 Sender: news@tigger.jvnc.net (Zee News Genie) Organization: JvNCnet X-Newsreader: Trumpet for Windows [Version 1.0 Rev B] Date: Mon, 16 Jan 1995 04:20:33 GMT HELP! I loaded FreeBSD 2.0 and it basically came up ok, but I looked all over for old-style terminal-mode emacs (not X-based), and couldn't find it. I finally figured out how to mount the CD-ROM, and found the "packages" directory. The pkg_add program seemed to add emacs.28.xx ok, but it won't run - it fails to load (?) a library (something like ld.so .... libX....). I'm just trying to run this thing in the plain old non-X format like i used to in the old days - and I never learned to use vi. What am I doing wrong? Please respond here or to dva@syncro.com. thanks! Dale Van Aken
