I saw a posting on this group recently saying that xemacs is about to be dropped, so decided I better start training my fingers to use emacs instead. Am running openSuSE 11.4 x86_64 and tried to fire off emacs and it barfed -

Are you running Emacs as root and did a simple "su" and not a "su -"? That gives a different environment and might explain the issue. Does running emacs as normal user work fine - and does it work with "su -"?
