From term Type: bzr branch bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs/trunk
this will Download the trunk of the latest Emacs in a folder near YOU then to compile
cp -R /home/<your-home-folder>/trunk /usr/local/emacs-24.0.50/
cd /usr/local/emacs-24.0.50/
Start compile
(a little note you may need to run
sudo sh autogen.sh
or if logged in as root
sh autogen.sh) you should be ready now run or type
./configure
# As I'd already run ./configure I run the following to restart afresh
make distclean && ./configure
make
src/emacs -Q
# to test the freshly installed eMacs24
make install
make clean
# I could no longer find src/emacs I later found it in
ls -l /usr/local/bin/emacs-24.0.50
there you have it from now on run
/usr/local/bin/emacs-24.0.50
This gives you emacs-24.0.50.1 with CEDET, Auto-complete, pymacs, rope-macs,YASnippet, org-mode and the rest of the kitchen sink.
If you get any ERRORs please post the info in your comments I will do my best to help you.
