Didn't build it, just downloaded it from the website. There is one file in
the working installation that was absent in the laptop installation:
/usr/share/applications/nedit.desktop. I copied it to the laptop installation.
Didn't make any difference.
The .Xresources files are identical in both instances.
I renamed the $HOME/.nedit directory with NEdit closed, then started
NEdit. Nothing changed.
I think that rather than copying the files NEdit is supposed to be generating
from the working installation to the non-working one, I should copy (to the
non-working install) the files NEdit needs in order to generate its own files
Now, what could these files (libraries and/or programs) be?
An 'ldd /usr/bin/nedit' shows that all library dependencies are present.
