Subject: Success installing emacs-w3m with Aquamacs?

Greetings,

I am very new to Emacs and would appreciate some advice on a topic that doesn't
appear to have been resolved, at least not where I've looked. I am attempting
to install emacs-w3m 1.4.4 on my MacBook that is running 10.4.10. My version
of Aquamacs is 22.1.1. I have already installed w3m using Fink (it seems to be
successful since I can invoke it from Terminal or shell). Here's what I've
tried so far.

1. Installing emacs-w3m from Fink. While the install is successful I cannot
actually make use of the install in the /sw directory because Fink compiles it
for an earlier version of Emacs in a different location. I think it was looking
for the version of Emacs that Fink will install when you install emacs-w3m
through Fink. It is my intention to continue to use Aquamacs if at all
possible.

2. Tried following directions in emacs-w3m README file to configure, make and
install myself. This didn't work either as it also looked for an earlier
version of Emacs. I'm not very proficient at reading CONFIG, MAKE or INSTALL
files but I didn't see any opportunities to change the default value from
emacs=EMACS to emacs=/Applications/Aquamacs\ Emacs.app/

I've attempted some variations on the above with no success. I have received
some good advice elsewhere but nothing to conquer this. I would like to be
able to read email, news and perhaps even use some of g-client's features but
this seems to require that I have emacs-w3m.

If you have kind and helpful advice I would appreciate it. If I can clarify
anything I would be glad to.

Regards,

Will
