No! Definitely. The only stage which needs sudo is 'make install' – because you chose to configure with --disable-ns-self-contained. This installs almost 100 MB of Elisp files (and some binaries and special files) in /usr/local, which is owned by root and not the user. To solve the issue you should run on the command line sudo chown -R <your id>:<your group id> <emacs or . when you're working directory is emacs> > > I experimented with the 64 bit build by substituting in x86_64 in > for i386 in the commands above; I could get a terminal version of > emacs in 64 bit, but not a nextstep/Cocoa version.

You just installed the Elisp files outside the application's bundle. These Elisp files can be shared with the X client or Yamamoto Mitsuharu's Emacs application (kind of a hack). > > Well, I'd like to figure out how to build a 64 bit Emacs.app, but > of course have no idea even where to begin. You could re-configure with CFLAGS set to "-Wno-pointer-sign -H" (the former to avoid some warning messages, the latter to see which C header files are used during compilation). When compilation fails (in Emacs' *compilation* buffer this will be accompanied be the string "Error ") for some C file you can cd to its directory and run on the command line (in Emacs' *shell* buffer) *almost* the same compiler command (copied from the *compilation* buffer) with one change: instead of compiling the C file let it just pre-compile and save the output. -E -dD instead of -c will do this. You can use -o to save the pre-compiled output in, for example, file.cpp. This output file can be compiled, with hopefully the same error, and you can try to understand better the cause of this error by having *all* C code in one file. -- Greetings Pete The problem with the French is that they don't have a word for « entrepreneur ». – Georges W.
