Thanks. A bit of googling led me to
http://webusers.npl.uiuc.edu/~yangrz/Emacs.html

So, for a new Ubuntu install.

$apt-get install libc6-dev g++ libncurses5-dev
$./configure
$./make
$./make install

did it for me.

Now executable... in a window... if you see what I mean?
I'm getting the text based emacs from 10 years ago?
What's happened to my nice 'semi-graphics' emacs please.

He asked for help. He's obviously not an experienced tinkerer.
There's no need to be angry with him; he just needs guidance.

Dave, please look at the report that `configure' displays when it
finishes, and make sure you have all the required packages so that
`configure' finds them. In particular, without X11 headers and
libraries you will get only a text-terminal version of Emacs.

Admitted, I'm coming across as a dummy. I am.
But then I'm sure David needed the dummies guide at one time.

Not too helpful.

Ahh, really? Isn't it obvious that the libraries Xaw3d, Xpm, jpeg,
tiff, ungif, and png are missing and also all X11 libraries and C
header files?

To be honest Pete no. At least not for me.

Even if it's obvious that Xaw3d is missing when `configure' says
something about "-lXaw3d", the name of the Ubuntu package that one
needs to download is quite clearly NOT obvious.

Now, if `configure' would say something like

Xaw3d library not found, suggest to download xaw3dg-dev package
