The problem is when I execute [.src]build.com. I get the following error message after it loads a couple of lisp files (it dies right after it loads simple.el): Invalid read syntax: "] in a vector" The only problems I encountered until this point are: 1. The aforementioned bug check when compiling LREAD.C. I used the /NOOPT qualifier to resolve that. 2. SETVBUF is undefined in module SYSDEP when I execute LINK.COM. I don't see how this would have any effect on my system, but I could be wrong. Other than that, everything proceeded as normal thus far. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Any suggestions? Thanks. Lauri Szklut ------- End of Forwarded Message
