Hey there I am quite new to Linux, so please bear with me... I am running Fedora 7, and I had the same problems starting Emacs after the updates two days ago that were described in Oliver's mail: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2007-May/msg01402.html I tried to put in the link as Matej suggested, which didn't work. I also read in the fedora-test-list that the new glibc version might be the problem, see https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2007-May/msg00394.html. When trying to uninstall the new version of glibc, the warning was quite strong and I thought it was a better idea not to do that. Can somebody help me? Thanks Matthias
