Emacs expects to find the DOC > ... > "make install" What would be ood would be to allow "run in place" as is done for X11. E.g. I basically *never* do "make install", I always just do "make" and then run src/emacs. Some of the reason why this is good is that C-h f and C-h v allow you to jump to the checked out source code from which you built the code, rather than some copy of it. Stefan
