more emacs problems ...

[Per Bothner]

As mentioned before, the installed /usr/bin/emacs (Rawhide)
has excruciatingly slow redisplay.  That is still the case.

So I've been using emacs-23.0.91.  This worked fine until a
few days ago, but now that won't even start up - I get the
error:
Invalid regexp: "Unmatched ( or \\("

No idea where there is coming from.

Fine.  I'll try emacs-23.0.92 or emacs from cvs.
In both case, 'make' hangs:

cd ../lisp; make -w update-subdirs
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/bothner/Emacs/emacs-23.0.92/lisp'
wd=/home/bothner/Emacs/emacs-23.0.92/lisp; subdirs=`(cd $wd; find . 
-type d -print)`; for file in $subdirs; do case $file in */Old | */RCS | 
*/CVS | */CVS/* | */.* | */.*/* | */=* ) ;; *) wins="$wins $wd/$file" ;; 
esac; done; \
	for file in $wins; do \
	   /home/bothner/Emacs/emacs-23.0.92/lisp/../update-subdirs $file; \
	done;
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/bothner/Emacs/emacs-23.0.92/lisp'
`/bin/pwd`/temacs --batch --load loadup bootstrap
Loading loadup.el (source)...

And then it just sits there.  For hours.

So I'm basically reduced to emacs -nw - but I do miss being able to use
the mouse.

Help ...
