Emacs

GNU Emacs Manual (20.3) 
./configure
make all
make -n install
Check here to see what directories emacs will be creating and where the binaries and the library files go. Also check on the big servers to see if anyone is running emacs. If you can track them down, tell them to quit emacs. You can also kill the process emacs which signals it to write a recovery file. 
make install
cd /usr/local/share/emacs
ln -s VERSION/etc etc
ln -s VERSION/lisp lisp
ln -s VERSION/site-lisp site-lisp
When you are satisfied that the new version of emacs is working properly, you can delete the old binaries from /usr/local/bin and the old distribution files from /usr/local/share/emacs/OLDVERSION and /usr/local/libexec/emacs/OLDVERSION.

On uful07 (ultrix) the configure seems to figure out /usr/local/lib as the area for the X11 libraries. This gives an error in the link stage. Just modifying the src/Makefile to use /usr/lib fixes it. The make install step also fails using the Ultrix provided make. However /usr/local/bin/make install seems to work quite nicely.
