Emacs is distributed in the form of source files that need to be
compiled. To compile them, you need a compiler for the C programming
language, either GCC or the SGI's own cc. It sounds like your SGI
system doesn't have a compiler installed.
If you cannot easily find a way to install a C compiler, then I'd
suggest to look on the Internet for a binary distribution of Emacs for
your system. Sorry, I don't have a URL.
