I'm using RedHat 8 here. I went ahead and installed tetex to see what
happens. I then made a copy of the dosemu/bin directory, placing the copy
in usr/local/share/dosemu, which is where my msdos directory is. Otherwise
I found the script couldn't find ../dosemu.bin.

Okay, now I get this when I run ./xdosemu:

OR: Unable to allocate memory pool
ERROR: lowmem_alloc failed for 10240
ERROR: Unable to allocate memory pool
ERROR: lowmem_alloc failed for 10240

Then xdosemu finally loads, with this as the final line before the C prompt:

"Welcome to dosemu !"
