This does not matter. Some (elder) version of GNU Emacs is needed to  
byte-compile Lisp code. A problem is that Elisp files are or some  
code is installed outside the standard load-path. This needs to be  
taken into account. (You can create a "local" version of the emacs- 
w3m.info file in /sw/fink/10.4/local/main/finkinfo, increase the  
version number also with an ``l´´, and change the configure  
parameters. Then re-build or re-install.)

I haven't built the package. To find out where files are installed  
you use

        dpkg-deb -c /sw/fink/debs/emacs-w3m….deb

The ``…´´ will be completed in *shell* or Terminal.

The latter is wrong! The variable probably needs to point to / 
Applications/Aquamacs\ Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Aquamacs\ Emacs.  
Another option would be to set PATH to first contain /Applications/ 
Aquamacs\ Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS or /Applications/Aquamacs\  
Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin.
