I have downloaded and unzipped the file for emacs 21.4a, but when I try the ./config command, the script can't find certain necessary files (gcc and cc, in particular). What is the problem? If additional files are required to load emacs, what are they and how do I get them. Emacs is distributed in the form of source files that need to be compiled. To compile them, you need a compiler for the C programming language, either GCC or the SGI's own cc. It sounds like your SGI system doesn't have a compiler installed. If you cannot easily find a way to install a C compiler, then I'd suggest to look on the Internet for a binary distribution of Emacs for your system. Sorry, I don't have a URL.
