- I had a similar problem. You need to make sure that the variable
- "server-process" points at the right server executable. I think it
- should equal:
- <emacs-root-directory>/etc/server
-
- The error message is a little misleading, since it implies the process
- is getting started and then exiting. That's not necessarily the case.
