Hello,
I am new to Linux.

I have tried installing emacs from the gnu.org site, however I get the following error:

make[1]: *** [emacs] Segmentation fault
make[1]: *** Deleting file `emacs'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mpatrick/emacs-21.4/src'
make: *** [src] Error 2

OK, so I visited the RPM site to get the .rpm and unfortunately I end up with:

Missing Dependency: fonts-xorg-75dpi is needed by package emacs

No problem. But when I try to install the 75dpi rpm and I get:

xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi conflicts with fonts-xorg-75dpi

I would really appreciate it if someone could shed light on this for me.

Which distro? Use your distro package manager to install software.
