This may be a valid reason, but otherwise on Leopard, you don't need to install Carbon Emacs 22, you already have it :-) In fact, /usr/bin/emacs is a full GNU emacs-22.1. The only thing missing for a full-blown Carbon Emacs is (rather perversely) the Emacs.app envelope which consists basically of two files, Info.plist and the icon image file. It is very easy to make it yourself by downloading these two files from the gnu emacs cvsweb, for example, and placing them into the right directory structure. The executable Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs is then simply a symlink to /usr/bin/emacs. A ready-made app-bundle (it's tiny: 24kB compressed) was recently attached to a message to the X11-users list. You can download it from here: <http://lists.apple.com/attachments/binTJolh9WCAJ.bin> Rename the downloaded file to Emacs.app.tar.bz2 and run tar jxf Emacs.app.tar.bz2. Maybe we could make a Fink package out of this... -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
