When I attempt to run emacs it fails: System is Fedora-19 with all upgrades running on a 4 processor x86_64 system.
Ideas? Build from source?
You can compile emacs just fine if you want. Follow the instructions in the INSTALL file and check the output of configure[1] for development libraries you may want to install before compiling; they are all available from the repos.
The current version has an annoying problem with cursor placement in gnus' summary buffers, so I'm using the one that comes with Fedora.
[1]: You can run something like 'CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -fomit-frame-pointer" ./configure --with-x-toolkit lucid'. Once compiled, 'make install' installs it nicely under /usr/local --- check your PATH.
