There are some special things you have to pay attention to when compiling
emacs 18.55 on apollo. The most easy way to do it is to get the extensions/
adaptions Leonard Zubkoff, John Vasta and others provided. You can ftp 
these from labrea.stanford.edu, directory pub/gnu or something like that.

There is a tar file apollo-emacs.tar.Z which contains some new files and
some modified files of the original distribution. You just have to
uncompress and to untar apollo-emacs.tar.Z in the dist-18.55 directory.

There is a README file for apollo which you should read.

PLEASE NOTE: There is a bug in apollos tar, it doesn't truncate files
when overwriting them (given the newer file is shorter). You can get 
around this by deleting the files in dist-18.55 which will be overwritten 
by the files in apollo-emacs.tar. For example
   cd dist-18.55
   rm -f `tar tf apollo-emacs.tar`
   tar xf apollo-emacs.tar
