Thanks very much for the extra patches, hints and terminal log.
Next, therefore, I tried checking the dependencies. Big chief README, she say:
For exact version dependencies, see require_version statments in
`src/zile`.
Unfortunately, `src/zile', him no longer exist…as far as I can tell, I should be looking in bin/zmacs.
I hope you don't mind my approaching this more as an interested user than as a developer these days.
