I'm trying to build gnu emacs 23.2 with X support. I solved all the
warnings by "configure". But the resulted emacs just run with no
windows. I'd appreciate any help.

Eric

1- ensure you have a DISPLAY environment variable referencing your
   current display.  Usually, it means:

       export DISPLAY=:0.0
       emacs 

   You may also launch emacs with an explicit display:

      emacs --display :0.0


2- If that doesn't work, check the compilation logs.  Perhaps it
   couldn't find X libraries, so it configured a version without X
   anyways.  Then you'll have to find out why it cannot find the X
   libraries it needs, and pass additionnal options to configure to let
   it know where yours are.

What "warnings"?

Pascal,

Thanks very much. This is the cause and it is solved now.

Stefan,

I just added rpms as the configure told me to add libtiff, libjpeg,...

The problem is solved now after I set teh DISPLAY shell variable.

Thanks.

Eric
