For Debian-based OS-es, the easiest way to build and run Emacs is: sudo apt-get build-dep emacs24 git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/emacs.git cd emacs make ./src/emacs & It'll pull inn all libraries you need. Perhaps we should just make a note of that in a file like README.DEBIANISH? (The "emacs24" may be "emacs25" on very fresh OS-es.) -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
