Emacs is distributed in the form of source files that need to be compiled. To compile them, you need a compiler for the C programming language, either GCC or the SGI's own cc. It sounds like your SGI system doesn't have a compiler installed. If you cannot easily find a way to install a C compiler, then I'd suggest to look on the Internet for a binary distribution of Emacs for your system. Sorry, I don't have a URL. _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
