I have just downloaded the version emacs-22.1 of GNU Emacs (file
emacs-22.1.tar.gz from http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/ ) and the
installation occurred without error apparently (using the commands:
'./configure --with-X', then 'make bootstrap', then 'sudo make install',
in an Xterm). However, I cannot open emacs. Here is a copy of the Xterm
window when I try to edit a text file:
~>emacs toto.txt &
[1] 279
~>
[1] + suspended (tty output) emacs toto.txt
~>
Thank you in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
Dr Christine Sacerdot

No need for the "bootstrap" part; just "make" would have been fine,
and quicker.

What happens if you remove the '&' ?
It lookes like your Emacs was built without X support. Re-run
configure and look at the output, especially at the end where it says:
"What window system should Emacs use?". You are probably missing some
X libraries and/or development packages on your system. Further
information will be earlier in the output of configure, and in the
file config.log.
