I am trying to set up the latest Emacs on Ubuntu (to replace the
slighter older version I got with apt-get). I configured --with-x and
compiled/installed without any issues, but when I execute the new Emacs,
it runs in the terminal instead of an X window. The older Emacs will run
happily with or without X. Any Ubuntu/Debian users out there know what
could be different with the one that I compiled?
Thanks,
Jay

Jay, I compiled CVS Emacs on Ubuntu GNU/Linux with no options,
I may be wrong, but that option is to configure Emacs to compile
with no X, '--with-x=no', instead of the default in which the
configure script looks for X.

Well, configure options aside, one problem was that I didn't have
xlib-dev installed on the system. Once I got that everything worked
(with the default options for configure, as you suggested).
Thanks.
