I think that i am running pgnus-0.97 (at least, i installed it and then put the appropriate command in the .emacs file as described in the Gnus README -- how can i actually make Gnus display its version while it's running?) and "XEmacs 20.4 "Emerald" [Lucid] (i386-suse-linux, Mule) of Fri Jul 23 1999 on escher" on "Linux kl 2.2.10 #1 Tue Jul 20 16:32:24 MEST 1999 i586 unknown". I tried to produce a backtrace but in the documentation it wasn't said how to do that. Then i tried to use "M-x gnus-bug" but that failed due to the same error described above. :p Here's what i found about that error message on the Gnus-mailinglist: --- cut here --- To: ding@gnus.org Subject: Strange window height error From: Jochen Lillich Date: 25 Aug 1999 09:18:31 +0200 Hi, I donīt know what has happened, but since yesterday, gnus fails on me. This happens every time I enter a summary buffer, and even more often when I choose an article. The backtrace: Signaling: (error "Window height 0 too small (after splitting)") split-window(# 0 nil) gnus-configure-frame((cond (gnus-use-trees (quote ...)) (t (quote ...))) #) gnus-configure-windows(article) gnus-article-prepare(3047 nil) gnus-summary-display-article(3047 nil) gnus-summary-select-article(nil nil pseudo) gnus-summary-scroll-up(1) call-interactively(gnus-summary-scroll-up) What has happened and what can I do?

Try setting $LANG to "C". AFAIK its a bug in the locale management. At least this was the solution which often helped. --- cut here --- --- cut here --- >> Try setting $LANG to "C".

I tried other things (twiddling TERM > and TERMCAP), but that didn't work either. In fact XEmacs 20.4 seems to have problems with locale settings other than english. In my case the following settings successfully removed the problem (thanks to Werner Fink from SuSE): unset LANG export LC_TIME="POSIX" export LC_NUMERIC="POSIX" export LC_MESSAGES="POSIX" (Here runs Kernel 2.2.10) --- cut here --- None of the proposed solutions did help. Altho i am not sure where i had to put those settings. I tried to do this in an X-term and then call xemacs from that terminal... didnt help. But i believe that the problem has something to do with the language settings because lately (since 6.0 or something) SuSE started messing around with that. Here are the language settings i found on my system after booting X: kl@kl:~ > echo $LANG german kl@kl:~ > locale LANG=german LC_CTYPE="german" LC_NUMERIC="german" LC_TIME="german" LC_COLLATE="german" LC_MONETARY="german" LC_MESSAGES="german" LC_ALL= Then i changed all those to "english" in an xterm and started xemacs: kl@kl:~ > xemacs Can't set locale. Using C locale instead. But even then the error was still there. Then i tried POSIX: kl@kl:~ > export LANG="" kl@kl:~ > export LC_CTYPE="POSIX" kl@kl:~ > export LC_NUMERIC="POSIX" kl@kl:~ > export LC_TIME="POSIX" kl@kl:~ > export LC_COLLATE="POSIX" kl@kl:~ > export LC_MONETARY="POSIX" kl@kl:~ > export LC_MESSAGES="POSIX" kl@kl:~ > xemacs This time no complaint when starting up xemacs but still the same error in Gnus. Any hints on how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated! Please CC: me all replies since i am not yet on the list. Thanks, Kasi -- Kaspar Landsberg,
