please help me with accents

[gerencia]

hi list:

First of all excuse my english, (it's ugly).

I can't write accents in Emacs, i mean, characters like these: á é í ó ú.
when i try emacs tell me "<dead-acute> is undefined"
I already chance some settings related to the language environment and 
input method but it  didn't work.

Some system aspects:

Emacs 22
Ubuntu intrepid
also y download emacs from ubuntu repositories, then I install auctex 
package.

I'll appreciate any help you can give to me.

First, you can always type accents in emacs with iso-transl:

(require 'iso-transl)
(define-key iso-transl-ctl-x-8-map "E" [342604]) ; bind €

Then type C-x 8 C-h to see the map
for example:
          C-x 8 ' e -> é
          C-x 8 ` e -> è
          C-x 8 ^ e -> ê
          C-x 8 " e -> ë
          C-x 8 E   -> €




Next, I don't use a keyboard with dead keys, but I'd guess that
processing them depend on the language environment, or perhaps more
precisely on the input method.  Try:

M-x set-language-environment RET TAB
M-x set-input-method RET TAB

that's not very convenient if you use them a lot. better to use an input
method:

(info "(emacs)Input Methods")
