Summary 0002599: Emacs start hangs and dies after upgrade since last month
Description CSW Emacs was working fine on my Solaris 10/x86 workstation last month. I recently did a pkg-get upgrade, required to get new openssl lib for another program, and now emacs doesn\'t work anymore.
When I launch it, it hangs for ~30s and then dies with this error message:
Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size
Truss doesn\'t reveal anything obvious.
I\'m not sure how to find more information about the problem, but would be happy to debug it on anyone\'s instructions.

This is too old to reproduce (2 releases since then...); if it can be reproduced by the reporter I'll try to fix.

Hi, I'm still having this very same issue.
I tried upgrading but "No worries... you already have version 22.1 of emacs"
Which two new versions are you referring to?

The last version is 22.3. However, in the "stable" release the old 22.1 is still the last available package. I recommend that you use the "unstable" release of OpenCSW.

if trying with the unstable release of 23.1 the same issue is observed, I recommend to use the -q option for a start test.

I'm afraid it's not an issue with my config. I still get the same error with -q option (aka --no-init-file): Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size

Also, I'm only showing v22.1 as the latest available through unstable:

# /opt/csw/bin/pkgutil -c emacs
--2009-08-24 10:32:06-- http://blastwave.network.com/csw/unstable/i386/5.10/catalog [^]
package installed catalog
CSWemacs 22.1 SAME

Please advise.

First of all: you're looking at Blastwave and here are at OpenCSW,,, Consequently I propose that you point your pkg-get, through the /opt/csw/etc/pkg-get.conf toward a mirror of the OpenCSW project. Update your packages such as the last revision of Emacs is installed on your system. After that, test and give me a feedback,

Sorry I didn't realize there was a difference between blastwave and opencsw servers... I pointed to http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/csw/current [^] and it upgraded all my packages.
Nothing was working for a while as fontconfig blew up and corrupted my fonts

Installing fontconfig - A library for configuring and customizing font access. as <CSWfconfig>
## Executing postinstall script.
fc-cache is running now to build font information caches
this may take up to several minutes on slow workstations
Segmentation Fault - core dumped

After some time to clean up I seem to be back in business and emacs works now thanks.

using the OpenCSW mirror fixes this issue
