Use goto-line. You can bind it to a function key or C-c g or something.
It prompts you for the line number.

If you are using emacs to compile (I have compile bound to C-c C-c),
then errors are output in the *compilation* buffer. To find errors
listed in that buffer, execute next-error, usually bound to
C-x ` (backquote) which automatically takes you to the point
of the error, even when you use multiple files.
