It seems as Your installation is causing problem in "dosemu" Bourne
shell script. This script ("/usr/bin/dosemu" or maybe
"/usr/local/bin/dosemu") start dosemu binary "dosemu.bin" - probably
at line 404 via "exec" shel command. You should debug this script
for determining exactly why this call fail.
And only notice - I think You should try dosemu version 1.4.0, it is
much better than 1.2.2.
HTH,
