Configure it with: $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/$emacs_version Then when you type: $ sudo make install it will install into the chosen prefix. Then create symlinks into /usr/local/bin: $ sudo ln -sirv $prefix/bin/* /usr/local/bin Later, to uninstall: $ sudo rm -rI $prefix $ find -L -type l /usr/local/bin $ sudo find -L -type l /usr/local/bin -exec rm {} + Regards
