Trying to install tramp, I get this:

	tramp-2.1.3> ./configure --with-contrib
	configure: Tramp 2.1.3
	checking for gmake... gmake
	checking for reasonable gmake version... ok
	checking whether gmake sets $(MAKE)... yes
	checking for /usr/gnu/bin/emacs-20.7... yes
	checking for /usr/gnu/bin/emacs-20.7 flavor... emacs
	checking for /usr/gnu/bin/emacs-20.7 version... nok
	configure: error: Tramp 2.1.3 is not fit for GNU Emacs 20.7.1 
		(rs6000-ibm-aix4.3.3.0, X toolkit)

Question 1: My centrally administered system has emacs-20.7,
emacs-21.2, and emacs-21.3.  Could the install script be finding the
older one and stopping before it finds the newer one?  Can I just hack
out the test from 'configure'?  Is this a bug?

Question 2: I'm still using 20.7 because I could never get 21.3
working completely.  Is there a tramp version that works with 20.7?

Maybe you could get some help to fix this instead?

Are you sure about this?  Here's what I have in /usr/gnu/bin.  emacs
points to 21, but 20 is also there.

> ls -l emacs*
lrwxrwxrwx           10 May 14 2004  emacs@ -> emacs-21.3*
-rwxrwxr-x      7607617 Jan 31 2001  emacs-20.7*
-rwxrwxr-x      7452560 May 02 2002  emacs-21.2*
-rwxrwxr-x      9825428 Dec 09 2003  emacs-21.3*
