Re: Dosemu 1.1.5 Binaries?

[Peter Celella <pcelella@ix.netcom.com>]

I did try to compile with the standard compiletime-settings (this has
linkstatic off and x on). I assume that this is also what you did,
correct? If so, you just untarred the dosemu distribution, ran 'make',
and then as su, ran 'make install' - right? This is also what I have
done, also using Redhat 9. But doing the above, this is when I get that
IPC error describe below - also, when the dosemu window closes,
'Segmentation fault' is then printed to the terminal screen.

I take it that you didn't have these same problems and are also running
Redhat 9. If so, is there anything different you have installed that
gives you the good luck that you are having? Or are there any other
ideas you might have?
