Hey, I just started messing around with emacs again - first time since I installed slackware 8.0 and ran into a problem. Whenever I open emacs, I get an error saying that it cannot find a /usr/lib/x11/locale.alias and if I specify a file name with the command line, it doesn't open up. At this point, I have installed all slackware packages in the e1 series and re defined the emacs symbolic link to point to emacs-no-x11 since I don't do x - thank you:). Has anyone else run into this problem? If so, how did you fix it? So far, I haven't seen any default start up files that might cause this problem. right now, I do not have a .emacs and I got this same error even with the -q and -no-site-file options. Sure appreciate any help possible.
