  I don't remember exactly what to do, but problem is that you musn't move
anything from emacs directory after you decompress/untar it. So untar it to
directory where you wish to have it after compiling. Modify Makefiles, and
compile it, after it you can carefully delete files from emacs dir (i.e. first
move file out of emacs dir, then run emacs, if it doesn't work return file,
and so). I'm sure you can delete src directory, but I am also sure that
deleting other files could do things you decribed before. I personally
compiled emacs for 5 times, because I deleted something I thought it won't
miss and then it doesn't works. And on my 386SX/20 meant another 3 hours of
decompressing files and compiling it again. But now emacs works fine.

All the big corporations depreciate their possessions, and you can,
too, provided you use them for business purposes.  For example, if you
subscribe to the Wall Street Journal, a business-related newspaper, you
can deduct the cost of your house, because, in the words of U.S.
Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren Burger in a landmark 1979 tax
decision: "Where else are you going to read the paper?  Outside?  What
if it rains?"
