yes. if you read the xemacs homepage they probably dont support osx. So
you should install all X Windows and Linux apps for ISX via Fink. The
Fink project makes Linux and Xwindoes software avaialble to compile and
run on OSX. Fink is built on top of the debian apt-get tool set, except
that after it downloads software it pathches the sources to compile and
run on OSX. Fink also has binary releases of its 'stable' software
pacakges, these you can download and then run. There is also a GUI to
Fink. I dont use it myself, but Google 'fink commander' for more info.
Perhaps at some point in the future projects like Xemacs and Guile will
provide that their own software runs on OSX, but until then use Fink.
