Other computer details? Method of emacs > installation? I've already fixed it , but anyways , it DID start per se , but I couldn't do anything because of the very same problem and message. Even them bmp icons didn't pop up. I dived into the source code and well, it's pretty straightforward - when malloc() fails you get this message. Just for the heck of it I recompiled xemacs with it's own malloc ( sbrk() ? ) - didn't help. So I used this chance to upgrade ( run install.sh in single user for bin and ssys) , rebuilt kernel and now it works. Rashid.
