I have just installed ubuntu Linux and extracted the
latest emacs version: 21.3 on my AMD Barton 2500 XP
machine.
I get the following errormessage when I try to run
"configure":
johs@ubuntu:~/emacs-21.3 $ ./configure
loading cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH
johs@ubuntu:~/emacs-21.3 $
What is the solution for this problem?

Install a C compiler. It should be named something intuitive like
'gcc.'

I have never tried Linux before so it would be nice with some more specific
information if possible.

I would strongly suggest, if you are new to Linux and not very
experienced with Unix in general, that you stick to the packages
supplied by your distribution while you find your way around.
Anyway, the process is pretty simple: the error you hit was because the
C compiler is not install and, as such, Emacs can't compile the C code.
To correct this you will need to install a few development tools. Your
distribution will supply some package installation tool; not being an
Ubuntu user I don't know what it is called.
Fire that up, then find the 'GNU C compiler' package. Typically, this
will be named 'gcc' and will be in the 'development' section.
Once that is installed the compilation will proceed further.
Since Ubuntu is based on Debian, however, and as I understand things
includes all the Debian packages in the 'universe' section, you can
probably just install the 'emacs21' package -- that is what I use, and
is the precompiled binary for the system.
For more detailed help on using the package management tools in your
distribution, try on their user mailing list - people there are sure to
know the tools you require.
Regards,
Daniel
