I configured emacs using:

$ ../emacs/configure --prefix=/home/jie/installs/emacs --with-gtk

then do

$ make; make install

After reading your email, I tried "make bootstrap; make install" and
found then the highlighting works for C mode. Then I tried "make; make
install" again, however highlighting still works. Even "rm -rf
/home/jie/installs/emacs; make; make install" works now. It's rather
strange.

Thanks,
