Go to download 3 xemacs packages: “xemacs-21.1.9.tar.gz”, “xemacs-21.1.9-elc.tar.gz”, and “xemacs-21.1.9-info.tar.gz”.
Expand the above files into the directory used for compiling, e.g. gzip -dc xemacs-21.1.*.tar.gz | tar xf -.
Change to the directory where you expanded the files, e.g. cd /usr/src/xemacs-21.1.9.
Type ./configure ; make.
After the compile finishes, switch to the root account and type make install.
Go to download another xemacs packages: “xemacs-sumo.tar.gz”.
Expand the above files into /usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/. If you would prefer to install these in a different location, set the EMACSPACKAGEPATH environment variable to your preferred location, and then expand the files in the directory in the variable. Don’t forget to export the variable, and to add it to the appropriate startup script!
Start XEmacs by typing xemacs.

Or you can go to this official insallation help page . There is
a little bit difference from what I said above. Combining them together probably is the best choice.

GOOD LUCK!
