I'm trying to find a word processor for Linux, but everytime I try to
print on any one, it requires TeX to work, and it doesn't print. Well,
it seems that when ever I try to run Tex, latex, initex,etc, it always
gives me a segmentation fault and dumps the core into a file. Does
anyone know what is causing this? I have downloaded other binaries
from sunsite(teTeX) having the same results.
Please help, I need to print!
Thanks, JP

I got the same problem when I forgot to set up the swap space on my machine
Do you have swap space ?
Is it 'switched' on ? Test by running 'top'.
I've gotten both emacs and TeX working on my box, and have
been delighted with emacs19's handling of TeX documents.
However, whenever I kill a TeX job from emacs, with C-c C-k,
or just by restarting the job, then TeX core dumps with the
message, "Quit (core dumped)", leaving this 3 meg file.
Other than that, everything's ok. I have TeX and emacs on
a NeXT at school (same version of emacs, 19.18) and this
doesn't happen at all.
One thing I did try was to change the definition of
tex-kill-job from using quit-process, to using interrupt-process,
but then TeX wouldn't die at all!
Does anyone know what's going on? I presume that the problem
lies with either TeX or with linux (.99pl12), but I don't know.
Is it getting the wrong signal sent?
Arrrgh. Frustration!
Thanks for whatever advice you can give me,
Danek
