Problems with emacs on IRIS under X

[Scott Henry]

g> I am having trouble getting a version of emacs 18.57 built on an SGI

g> Has anyone already encountered, work around this problem?  Thanks,

GNU Emacs 18.57 has been updated to reflect the changes between Irix
release 3.2 and 3.3. The easiest solution is to either use v18.55 (I think
18.56 also has the Irix 3.3 fixes), or (preferably) upgrade to Irix 3.3.2.

Sorry I couldn't be more help, but I don't have the 18.55 config files
around any more to diff.
