Did you get any errors for `make install'? You need root privileges to write to /usr/local/, you know. Emacs should end up in /usr/local/bin. Is /usr/local/bin in your PATH? What does "echo $PATH" say on the command line? Is there an emacs executable in /usr/local/bin? HTH, Anselm -- Anselm Helbig - http://mnemonikk.org
