| Can anyone tell me how to jump to an absolute line number in Gnuemacs?

| In other words, when a compiler says the problem is on line 200,
| how do I get there without counting lines?

1) M-x goto-line  will prompt for a line number and go there.

2) I find it handy to bind \C-c \C-g to goto-line.

3) Use M-x compile and \C-x ` to find locate compile errors in the source code.
