I tried and did a build with: $ ./configure --prefix emacs-install --without-all --without-x $ make boostrap $ make install The installation works just fine on the system it was built on, but when I move that installation to another machine, I get messages such as: Warning: arch-dependent data dir (/home/rejeep/emacs-install/libexec/emacs/24.3/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/) does not exist. Warning: arch-independent data dir (/home/rejeep/emacs-install/share/emacs/24.3/etc/) does not exist. Warning: Lisp directory `/home/rejeep/emacs-install/share/emacs/24.3/lisp' does not exist. Warning: Lisp directory `/home/rejeep/emacs-install/share/emacs/24.3/leim' does not exist. Error: charsets directory not found: /home/rejeep/emacs-install/share/emacs/24.3/etc/charsets Emacs will not function correctly without the character map files. Please check your installation!
