RULE #1: When asking how to do something in Emacs, be sure to
indentify *which* Emacs you're using.

In GNU Emacs, that would be `M-x goto-line <RET> [line_number] <RET>'.
But of course, you'd be using `M-x compile <RET>' to do the
compilation if you were using GNU Emacs so what you'd really want is
`next-error', which is normally bound to C-x `.

If you're not using GNU, I can't help you.
