I have 10.2.2, with Developer Tools installed. However my attempts to build either one failed. GNU Emacs: 21.2 (which appears to be the most recent public release) refused even ./configure. I followed Andrew Choi's instructions and got a later (21.3 beta?) version by CVS; this one ran ./configure but make eventually failed. XEmacs: I got 21.4; both configure and make ran fine but gave me a terminal-like emacs. Apparently couldn't detect any windowing system on the mac! Is there any special trick to compiling either of these versions on OSX? Ajanta
