Re: Getting from here to there

Hi:

According to rpm -Uvh, both emacs-20.3-15 and emacs-nox-20.3-15 are
"already installed." rpm -Va doesn't seem to find anything amiss, unless I
don't know how to interpret all that data, which is certainly possible.

But, make emacspeak generates error 127.

Also, typing 'emacs' from the pound prompt returns 'command not found.'

Now, my DOS/Windows mind suspects a pathing problem? Is that possible?
Could it be that simple?
