You need to install a lot of dev packages. Compiling GNU Emacs is kind = of "development", not just using the system. Since you still have the = sources on your system, run './configure --help' and then decide which = components of X11, font handling and display, etc. you want and then = install the corresponding dev packages. In GNU Emacs you can perform the task of configuration and compilation = (+ installation). =46rom the top level directory of the sources, i.e., = emacs-23.4, invoke M-x compile RET, then remove the text appearing in = echo area/mini-buffer and type: ./configure RET. And = you can see in colour which software components and particles are found = and which not. At the end of the *compilation* buffer you'll see which = kind of Emacs will be built. You can save the whole buffer =96 and close = it! (Or it will be overwritten by next compilation.) If you are = satisfied, you can M-x compile RET and press RET again if the text says = 'make -k' or use cursor-up to fetch back that 'make -k'. RET will start = the build. If you're not satisfied with the configuration step you can install more = dev packages and/or use some configure options. -- Greetings Pete Don't force it; get a larger hammer.=20 =96 Anthony's Law of Force
