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.
