[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Yes, I can install and run the precompiled version, but would rather invoke from command line.

Configure Output:

The error message says gnutls is missing.  Do you have it installed?

Or, if you don't care to have it, try using:

    ./configure --with-gnutls=ifavailable

This isn't a bug. Your machine is just missing a gnutls installation.
You can run configure and pass --with-gnutls=ifavailable to compile
Emacs without gnutls support, or you can install gnutls on your machine
(for example, gnutls installed with Homebrew will automatically get
picked up by the Emacs configure script).

More information was requested, but none was given within 6 weeks, so
I'm closing this bug.  If this is still an issue, please reply to this
email (use "Reply to all" in your email client) and we can reopen the
bug report.
