Occasionally when I'm compiling, I have to scroll up my compilation buffer to see the details of an error. At this point, emacs stops "following" my compilation buffer, i.e., scrolling to automatically display new output.
I'm using Aqumacs on OS X. Any idea how I can "reattach" or re encourage the compilation buffer to follow again?

If you want to display one of the buffers in place of the buffer list, you can press f. To put a buffer in another window (i.e., one not occupied by the buffer list), type o. Emacs displays the buffer in the other window and puts the cursor there.
Compile your program. Pull down the Compile menu in Emacs and select Compile This File (Or, equivalently, try M-x, i.e., Esc-x, followed by compile). The compilation command will appear at the bottom of the window. Press the Enter key to start the compilation.
Put in your ~/.emacs file
;; Compilation output (setq compilation-scroll-output t) or even
(setq compilation-scroll-output 'first-error) to make it scroll to the first error.
