Thanks again, Scott and Stephen. Since I didn't have much time to play with
linux lately, I didn't try hard, but so far nothing has worked. However, now
I'm getting similar but different error messages. I hope that's a sign of
improvement. I'll try again when I got time. By the way, I'm working with
xemacs 20.4.


I'm getting the following error;

I have a strong feeling that something is not right about the RPM package I
got from JRPM site(it's somehow different from other RPMs I've got), so I'm
trying to make a contact to the creator of the RPM file so that I can learn
exactly how I should install the package.
