In addition to Peter's comments which are, of course, all correct: Being that you're a newbie have you considered just using [MacPorts][1] to manage your Emacs install? It makes the installation and dependency management much easier and even has many of the packages you might use as other ports that you can install. Eventually, you'll almost certainly desire to go to a more manual approach but while you're getting up to speed with Emacs having something else that manages your installation would probably be a boon. Just a thought. [1]: http://www.macports.org/ -- In Christ, Timmy V. http://blog.twonegatives.com/ http://five.sentenc.es/ - Spend less time on e-mail
