trouble compiling xemacs on my MAC system.

[r***@gmail.com]

Hi,
I tried to install xemacs 21.4.20 without success. Please advice.

I did a ./configure (no options).

Config.log has a bunch of fatal errors.

configure:2412:10: fatal error: 'features.h' file not found

configure:14689:10: fatal error: 'db/db.h' file not found

I tried to keep going and did a make install

It couldn't complete the linking process. There were multiple (hundreds) of duplicate symbol errors between abbrev.o and many other .os (widget.o, sysdep,o etc,) There were a bunch of warnings prior to that. I can save and send the make output if required. My machine details...

You should post the full config.log output.

That's not a problem in and of itself. (The C compiler considers it a
"fatal error", but configure just invokes the C compiler to see if it's
present.) Are you sure this is the full config.log output? It ends
rather suddenly ...
