Hi.

I have to work in a Linux server without = root permission. In this server, the emacs's version is 21.4.1(too old = for me). =A0I want to use a newer version in the server.

Two methods tried:
1. Compile emacs-24.3 in the old linux se= rver, I tried to install lots of libraries manually. =A0At last, I can'= t build emacs successfully. I give up.
2. Try to compile emacs-24= .3 in my local linux where I have root permission. Then, copy it to the ser= ver linux.

On local linux:=A0
# cd /opt/local_build/emac= s-24.3/build
# ../configure --prefix=3D/home/cnglen/opt =A0 --wit= hout-all --without-x
# make
# make install
On server linux after copying /home/cnglen/opt from local linux:=
Running emacs-24.3:
a) It shows: libtinfo.so.5 not fou= nd. =A0After I copying libtinfo.so.5 from local linux, It's OK.=A0
b) /lib64/libc.so.6: version "GLIBC_2.6" not found. version = "GLIBC_2.11" not found. =A0In the server "GLIBC's versio= is 2.5".


I just want to use a= newer emacs on the local server where I don't have root permission. An= y suggestions?
Is there someway =A0to compile emacs with static library (NOT shared l= ibrary)? =A0

Thanks.
