Hi all, I believe there will be no further patches to the 21.4 branch, therefore I'm offering no fixes, only reporting two problems I came across. I am using Mac OS X, but that's only revenant to 2), I think. 1) M-x gnuserv-start fails silently. In my case, it was because it couldn't find the hostname in /etc/hosts. Running gnuserv in a terminal displayed the error message I needed to fix the problem. Workaround: Make sure hostname is present it /etc/hosts. 2) For some reason the emodule loader is broken on OS X 10.10.3. I have zero interest in wading through the autohell to figure out why it's broken. Workaround: Manually #define HAVE_DYLD and change the source code (generated file) to use -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup instead of -shared to link the .ell file. That's all folks. Have fun.
