Getting Emacs Lisp sources in Lubuntu

Getting Emacs Lisp sources in Lubuntu

[Davin Pearson]

I tried the following command:

sudo apt-get emacs24

and it installed Emacs for me.

I was wondering how you go about installing the Emacs Lisp source files onto my machine.

Please advise me as I am stuck...  At present I have to look at my NTEmacs Lisp source files.

Are you sure they are not installed? Try

M-x find-function [ENTER] compile [ENTER]

On debian one needs to install at the least
1. emacs24-el
2. emacs24-common-non-dfsg

About the dfsg ubuntu-debian may differ
I expect the "...el" to be mostly the same

You might also consider compiling Emacs.  It's much less intimidating
than I thought, and even not very time consuming (not even on my low-end
netbook - I didn't measure it, but it was definitely much less than an
hour).

The Emacs Lisp source files are part of the /emacs24-el/ package:
