Emacs, for instance, needs various tools to build it, including a C compiler. Nothing wrong or unusual there. What alarms me about pdf-tools is that it tries to install those tools itself rather than leaving the user in control of that step. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
