I need a version of emacs that has a good graphical interface, interacts well with \LaTeX{} and auctex and reftex, allows tex commands from within emacs, etc. (the version that shipped with the OS is not at all up to this). I've looked at enhanced carbon emacs, but it doesn't work with panther yet. There is another version, via fink, emacs21-xaw3d (also tried emacs32-nox), but I can't get my mac to build them; it grinds for a long time and prints a lot of stuff to screen, but always ends with "fatalerror 10". I then tried to install the binary version but get a message about unmet dependencies involving ncurses. Is there a tamer binary version of emacs21-xaw3d out there anywhere (I need it sooner than I'll figure out how to compile it) or a version of carbon emacs that now runs on panther? Or some third possibility? While I'm asking, what are the pluses and minuses of carbon emacs and emacs21-xaw3d. Thanks, CS
