Nurullah Akkaya: Have the following: build-essential xorg-dev libgtk2.0-dev libjpg-dev libgif-dev libtiff-dev Got all the things I need to have. Richard Riley: I have been through this. The bottom line for me was to dump debian emacs and follow the simple enough instructions available from Google to get from cvs and compile. It really is not that difficult. Both: 1. Dump the Debian Emacs. 2. Do the cvs thing, ./configure, make, make install. "It's easy. :-)" Alrighty then, ... :-) I may wind up doing just that over the weekend. Looked up cvs on google just a few moments ago. Presently, on my mother's Windows Vista system. Don't tell her, I'm gradually converting it into a semi-*nix system. Found something called Pharmacy for Gnome, which rocks because I use Gnome as default WM on Debian. Although Xfce may soon replace it. And there is even a Windows cvs client. Looks to be a snap to do given a broad scale of comparrison. -- Benjamin Badgley
