You also will need some other packages including xlib-dev

If configure complains that it cant' find some package,
you need to install the -dev version of it from apt or yum.

Debian's package of Emacs 21 has these run-time dependancies.


libc6, libice6, libjpeg62, libncurses5, libpng12-0, libsm6, libtiff4, libungif4g,
libx11-6, libxext6, libxmu6, libxpm4, libxt6, xaw3dg, zlib1g

I'm not sure what the related development packages are.

HTH,
