Question

I am trying to install emacs in offline computer.

but every time I try to build from the source and install it, it doesn’t make it.

too complicated.

(terminal ./configure => error try with –without-makeinfo,
after a while, error try with –without-x,
after a while, error can’t find emacs version…(and I also want to use X version))

so I want to download emacs binary file but I can’t find for linux one.

where can I download pre-build binary emacs 23.3(lastest) for ubuntu?

I can download emacs 23.3 binary file for windows but not for ubuntu.

You could get the deb file directly from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/e/emacs-snapshot/emacs-snapshot_20090909-1_amd64.deb and then try to install it using dpkg -i but there will probably be dependencies which you might miss. I’d suggest you try an apt-get install emacs-snapshot on your target machine. It will tell you all the packages it needs to fetch (along with URLs). Fetch all of them from a machine connected to the net and then dpkg -i those packages.
