Hi Steinar,

It's extremely easy to compile emacs under linux. You basically just
download it somewhere in your home directory and type configure and
make. Are you sure that you're making the right decision in going for
very old emacs + old org-mode rather than new emacs plus new org-mode?

Emacs 21 is extremely out-of-date, and so are your Red Hat machines I
guess. But I would definitely at least download the latest emacs and
check that it compiles without problems.
