Here's what I do to compile and install xemacs. I use the athena widgets 
rather than Gnome. The only major problem I have is with Xemacs going 
into a frenzy if I maximize the Xemacs window, but that stops when I 
un-maximize it.

tar xvzf xemacs-21.4.14.tar.gz
   (apply patch here)
cd xemacs-21.4.14
./configure --with-widgets=athena --with-athena=3d --with-dialogs=athena
make
   (change to root with su here)
make install
cd /usr/local/lib/xemacs
tar xvzf ~/path-to-xemacs-packages/xemacs-sumo.tar.gz

If you develop C or C++ code, you should probably also apply the patch 
available here:
