Hi,
I tried to install emacs on my laptop, but the configure script doesn't run
proberly. It does not find gcc or cc and shows the error "No acceptable cc
found in $PATH". I tried it under SUSE and ubuntu, it's the same.
I'm a Linux beginner, therefore I have no clue what this error message means.
You need a c compiler.
In SuSE, fire up yast and install `gcc'
In ubuntu, apt-get install gcc
You also will need some other packages including xlib-dev
If configure complains that it cant' find some package,
you need to install the -dev version of it from apt or yum.
Debian's package of Emacs 21 has these run-time dependancies.
libc6, libice6, libjpeg62, libncurses5, libpng12-0, libsm6, libtiff4,
libungif4g,
libx11-6, libxext6, libxmu6, libxpm4, libxt6, xaw3dg, zlib1g
I'm not sure what the related development packages are.
HTH,
