Doing:
  $ yum-builddep --nogpgcheck emacs-24.3-1.fu2013.src.rpm 
I learned that there is no python3-devel package for Centos (yet).

The snowball is getting bigger... :)

I ran "./configure --without-x", however the build ran into problems,
so I removed the whole build tree.  Un-tarred the source file:
  emacs-24.3.tar.gz
and then did the configure and build with script turned on, which
is attached.

Search for "Saving file /home/elrodd/src/Emacs/emacs-24.3/lisp/loaddefs.el..."
for where the build had the lock problem that started all of this.  Maybe this is
normal for the build???

At the end of the 'make' the build dies because ".../.#ZIRANMA.el"
is a symlink to a very suspicious looking file.  See the end of the
script.

Thank you so much for your help!
David

  yum-builddep emacs

will take care of (most of) that.
