bug#18058: 24.3.92; OS X Emacs launcher script fail under 10.6 (or rather Ruby 1.8.7)

[Anders Lindgren]

Jan,

It appears to be the script that is named Emacs in the distribution. I'll report this to the emacsformacosx team.

Thanks,

I downloaded the following:

http://emacsformacosx.com/emacs-builds/Emacs-pretest-24.3.92-universal.dmg

Simply mount the disk image (by double-clicking on it) and open the file "Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs".

The build script used is here:

https://github.com/caldwell/build-emacs

You might be talking about launch.rb.  It is an addition, not part of Emacs proper.

Unlike earlier releases, the "Built on" field is marked as "Multi". This might be something that "emacsforosx.com" has added to the installation, although I find it unlikely, as they typically provide clean Emacs installations.

I really don't think it does.
Please provide the details of where you got this from.
