You don't have a compiler. Despite what someone said, you don't really need fink, you could use Rudix: http://rudix.org/ which only has the packages you might want. But really, the problem is that the Developer Tools aren't installed. Put the install disk back in the slot and install them. You don't need to join anything at Apple, all the tools you need are there, but good luck figuring out the dependencies. Good luck with Emacs as well. It builds fine, though, once you have your tools. -- W. Oates
