Unhappy Slackware-15.0: upgradepkg ./emacs-29.2-i586-1.txz Now Emacs doesn't work


OK,
I downloaded Emacs 29.2 from Current, Installed it. Now when I run run emacs I get this error: /usr/bin/emacs: No such file or directory

And is the directory listing for Emacs:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Feb 4 19:40 /usr/bin/emacs -> emacs-with-x11
-rwxr-xr-t 1 root root 73102732 Jan 18 15:15 /usr/bin/emacs-29.2-no-x11
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 73930124 Jan 18 15:15 /usr/bin/emacs-29.2-with-x11
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Feb 4 19:40 /usr/bin/emacs-no-x11 -> emacs-29.2-no-x11
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Feb 4 19:40 /usr/bin/emacs-with-x11 -> emacs-29.2-with-x11
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 26204 Jan 18 15:15 /usr/bin/emacsclient
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 624 Feb 13 2021 /usr/bin/emacspeak

Are you sure you downloaded the correct emacs package (32-bit or 64-bit)?

EDIT: Oh, I see you're running 15.0. Even the "correct" package probably won't work on 15.0 as it was compiled against a newer glibc. If you want the new emacs on 15.0, you'll need to download the build stuff from source/e/emacs and run ./emacs.SlackBuild to recompile it on 15.0.

Ok,
You what I didn't install the developer packages?
When I try and run /emacs.SlackBuild I get this error?
configure: error: Building Emacs requires GNU Make, at least version 3.81.

Yes, to build packages from source you will need the development tools. The recomended way to install Slackware is to do a full install. Also all those third party packages from slackbuild.orgs assumes a full install.
