It may be that Emacs is installed but not in your PATH variable, which determines where are those programs to be run. If you have the command `dpkg' you could try to list the package files with: dpkg -L emacs and then you can maybe see the full path to executable. It should be something like: /usr/bin/emacs but it could be different like: /anything-here/usr/bin/emacs Once you see that full path to the file, try running it: /anything-here/usr/bin/emacs And if that works try: echo $PATH do you see the path to Emacs? Normally it should contain /usr/bin/ but it can be different on your system. Then if that is so tha $PATH is not set up properly, you would need to set it up in .bashrc or other shell configuration file when you are starting terminal. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
