I'm trying to upgrade my existing emacs 21 to 23.
This is Linux RHEL5, 32-bit Intel.
When I build, I get:
~~~~~~~~~
configure: error: The following required libraries were not found:
libXpm libjpeg libpng libgif/libungif libtiff
Maybe some development libraries/packages are missing?
If you don't want to link with them give
--with-xpm=no --with-jpeg=no --with-png=no --with-gif=no --with-tiff=no
~~~~~~~~~
When I compile without them, emacs runs but is really ugly, fonts
are wrong, menus don't pop up,, etc.
I tried to install xpm-devel, but wound up in the usual bottomless pit
of missing dependencies.
Is there an rpm for emacs-23 that I can just install that includes
everything it needs?

Following up my own post, I installed the development libraries for xpm,
png, gif, and tiff. I then compiled from source. No change.
What I see is that:
The menu bar (File, Edit ...) is in a very flat, Courier typeface.
Menus don't nest. They display a > character that has to be cliecked to
display the next menu.
The tool bar is black and grey, not colored.
C-left mouse or S-left mouse again brings up flat, Courier menus that do
not nest.
The "about" screen does display the graphical emacs logo.
What did I miss?
~~~~~~~~
emacs 21, which was preinstalled from a yum repository, looks fine.

You need to re-configure after you've installed some missing pieces.

I would guess that you have built a version with no X-toolkit, so it is
falling back to some old internal implementation. Check the end of
configure's output, where it says what features Emacs will be built
with: "What toolkit should Emacs use?" Also check for the image support here.
It sounds like your systems is/was missing a lot of development
libraries. Try:
yum install gtk2 gtk2-devel glib2 glib2-devel
and re-configure.
