Hi, i am Mario :), i are using Ubuntu GNU/Linux for AMD64.
I have compiled emacs, but the interface seems strange and ugly (See 
attachment).
¿Everybody can help me to make the interface as those who appears at 
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/?
PD: Please excuse my bad english.

What is strange and what is ugly? What is different when compared to  
an Emacs from some Ubuntu package?

After the "configure" run, you see something like this:

  Does Emacs use -lXpm?                                   yes
  Does Emacs use -ljpeg?                                  yes
  Does Emacs use -ltiff?                                  yes
  Does Emacs use a gif library?                           yes -lgif
  Does Emacs use -lpng?                                   yes

If you see "no" instead of "yes", you need to install the
corresponding development image libraries, e.g. libxpm-dev for Xpm
(tool bar icons).

On my system:

# apt-get install libxpm-dev libjpeg62-dev libtiff4-dev libgif-dev libpng12-dev

See the screenshot. :-)

Bye, Reiner.

It looks like you're missing some dependencies or ./configure isn't finding
them for some reason. Take a closer look at the output of ./configure.

The 1-bit dithered gnu makes me suspect that it's not finding libraries for
png, jpeg and friends, so it's falling back to xbm (x-bit-map).

You're build also apparently isn't finding a decent GUI toolkit (neither
GNOME nor lesstif). Emacs is doing its own thing for both scroll bar and
menu bar.
