Re: Unable to build Emacs 23.3 Release Candidate 2

[James Jong]

Thanks Peter. Yes, I was able to run autogen.sh with no problem as well as ./configure. I have been able to compile open source software in the past (the system is a cluster used by several people). Thanks again, I guess I will keep investigating..

The indicated .o or object files contain functions which are standard C library functions, first declarated in C header files from the system, those found in /usr/include.

Could be, configure ran into errors and was not able to detect that these functions exist in your system's C library.

You could check the file config.log or you could run configure again, best in GNU Emacs and in compilation-mode, i.e.:

        M-x compile RET ./configure ...

In this mode colours will emphasise configure's results. Then also check config.log!


Are you able to configure, compile, and install any other Open Source software?
