Hi, Every since I have upgraded to FC5, I have had problems with emacs. What I observed is after a short time using emacs, the pocess emacs-x goes awol, using 100% cpu. If I go back to my emacs window I get the message Opening output file: no such file or directory, /usr/src/build/719136-i386/BUILD/emacs-21.4/src/#RichPixelPositionMonitor.cpp# where RichPixelPositionMonitor.cpp is the file I am currently editting. One other possibly important point - I am using the tramp lisp package in order to open remote files via ssh (see http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/tramp) Previously, on FC4, I had absolutely no problems with emacs+tramp. It worked perfectly. The problem only occurred once I upgraded to FC5. Any ideas ? cheers Chris
