Re: emacs - Entry Point not found error

["Mani Krishnan Venkatachari" <mkrishnan at lycos dot com>]

Hi Joe,

Thanks for giving me a lead on the error. I noticed that the name conflicted with an existing application that had the same name for the libSM.dll and that created the problem. When, I uninstalled the application, emacs works fine.

Regards,
Mani.
