emacs org-mode crashes in slackware64-current
Hello LQ World:
Happy Holidays! I gift you a puzzle: Can anbody reproduce this? On a cloud vps, on Dec. 18th, 2023, I upgraded to Slackware64-current, running kernel vmlinuz-generic-6.6.7 with an initrd. Whenever I try to open a file ending in .org (which automatically starts emacs up in org-mode) or if I try opening emacs first, and then use M-X (meta-x) and type org-mode, emacs crashes with this error: Code:
slac-in-the-box@cloud-vps:/ ==> emacs If it's not me, I might downgrade back to slackware64-15.0 until its worked out, because I use org-mode regularly. |
I'd never used org mode. I keep emacs open all the time. I tried to edit 'banana.org', got:

Just switching to org mode makes it happen. I build my own kernel, upgrade Slackware daily. |
First I removed the emacs package, and then I rebuilt it using the same source and slackbuild script in slackware64-current/source/e/emacs, and the same error recurred.
Then, I removed that emacs package, and cloned emacs' current git repository, (git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs.git), and then I used same ./configure options that were in the slackbuild script, except used --without-x, because I am using headless over ssh remote connection to vps, so don't need x. I followed up with the make and a make install to a DESTDIR in /tmp (I called it emacs-git), and then I moved to that directory and created slackware package with makepkg, and installed this emacs-git package, and: org-mode works again! So I guess either the emacs source in --current needs to be updated, or that error was something to do with the x component that I did without. Regardless of what it is, I'm back in the saddle. Cheers. |
When I tried yesterday with current and kernel.org 6.6.6, it worked for me.
|
I doubt this is Slackware-specific. I'd ask in software. Kernel 6.6.8 made no difference.

Today's emacs now works.
