Did you try emacs-gtk?

Can you send the output of uname -a please?

Sorry for the late answer, but I was ill.

I tried the emacs-athena and the emacs-gtk package and I am getting the same error with both of the packages. Here is the output of uname -a:

SunOS chdev2 5.10 Generic_147440-05 sun4u sparc SUNW,Netra-T12

Here is some further information:

The g_cclosure_marshal_generic symbol is defined by libgobject-2.0.so.0.3200.4 which is part of CSWlibgobject2-0-0 package and is an explicit run-time dependency of CSWemacs-athena and CSWemacs-gtk (see http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/browser/csw/mgar/pkg/emacs/trunk/Makefile#L266 [^] and http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/browser/csw/mgar/pkg/emacs/trunk/Makefile#L341). [^]

There was something weird happening in the upgrade process that I cannot reproduce.

However, explicitly installing the CSWlibgobject2-0-0 package will solve the issue.
