FWIW: You do not need autoconf to compile Emacs from a release tar file. Nor do you need texinfo. There's no point installing image libraries if you are going to configure --without-x. > And am getting this error message: http://pastebin.com/UDGQnrwM terminfo.c:50: undefined reference to `tparm' IIRC, the solution might be yum install ncurses-devel (I think it's fixed in Emacs trunk.) There's also yum-builddep emacs as mentioned in INSTALL. Not sure it will work right in CentOS 5 though.
