I just installed a Knoppix to my HD which does not have emacs. So emacs became the first app I downloaded and compiled. I used ./configure and make then make install. After that which emacs shows /user/bin/emacs. I think I am done. So I ran it. But all I get this a text mode emacs (same as emacs -nw). I searched the newsgroup and verified $DISPLAY. It is correctly set to :0.0 Even if I run emacs -d :0.0, it is the same result w/o any warning or error I try to run emacs from the KDE's run command window instead of a shell. But nothing happens. (not even a terminal emacs) Could anyone help me? I can run other app with GUI from terminal, such as kwrite, display, etc. Thanks in advance Emacs Beginner
