I'm using GNU Emacs 23.1.1. When I run M-X compile, the window is split into two. Depending on the aspect ratio of my original window, it automagically splits it horizontally or vertically. How can I force it to only split vertically?

I found that annoying too. The documentation says:
By default, these commands split the window vertically when there is
only one. You can customize the variables `split-height-threshold' and
`split-width-threshold' to split the window horizontally instead.
So setting split-width-threshold to nil solves the problem.
(setq split-width-threshold nil)
