Thanks for the instructions, but this seems to be beyond my abilities.
I do not know what 'pulling down the CVS" means (OK, this is a devel
list, but I got here trying to learn emacs...). Also, the main reason
that I want to use it is for tex/latex.
Just a try : I d'loaded emacs-21.1.tar.gz (and emacs-21.2.tar.gz) from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/ and attempted to compile :
emacs-21.1 > ./configure --without-x --enable-carbon-app
creating cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... powerpc-apple-darwin6.4
configure: error: Emacs hasn't been ported to `powerpc-apple-darwin6.4'
systems.
Check `etc/MACHINES' for recognized configuration names.
emacs-21.1 >
I'm afraid this is a bit much for me...
I will wait for the next binary to come out, and see what you folks say
about it.
Cheers,
A. Gautier

If you do not need to specialized LaTeX support in the "enhanced"
version I would suggest pulling down the CVS, following the
directions at savannah: See http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=emacs
. Once you have that, and assuming you have installed the OSX
developer tools, all you have to do is follow the directions in the
mac/INSTALL, which contains the three commands you need to execute in
the terminal.
The bigger question is what to do about the binary distributions of
21.3 that are floating around with bugs that people report. The ones
on versiontracker all do the wrong thing, either include more than
what is needed (like this one with TeX stuff), or less than what is
needed, or install in the wrong place, like in /usr/bin. I'm kind of
regretting the whole make-package script.

<excerpt>Hi all,
Here is a copy of a post I made on gnu.emacs.help, I am beginning to
suspect that I either found a bug or that my installation is flawed.
I just installed Enhanced Carbon Emacs (version 2.1, emacs 21.3.50.4)
on mac os X 10.2.4, and I have no succes trying to save mac-roman
encoded files (saving as latin1 works fine).
I tried adding a number of things to my .emacs, such as
(prefer-coding-system 'mac-roman-mac)
(set-buffer-file-coding-system 'mac-roman-mac)
(set default-buffer-file-coding-system 'mac-roman-mac)
with no result. The files do get saved, but are unreadable by other mac
apps. Even re-opening them with emacs I get a bunch of ????'s (only
accentuated characters such as é, à, ô, etc. come out OK : 'été' gets
saved as 'é?é').
Trying to set the coding from emacs (c-x ret f mac-roman) does not
help either.
For some odd reason I can correctly open mac-roman files, but saving
them does not work.
Also : whenever I lauch emacs.app I get the following message on
console.app :
## Component Manager: attempting to find symbols in a component alias
of type (regR/carP/x!bt)
but lauching terminal.app does that too.
Maybe it has to do with the many emacs's installed in /usr/bin (?)
Any help will be greatly appreciated !
