cant start Emacs in a sperate window

cant start Emacs in a sperate window

[Misha]

I use Emacs 21.3 under Ubuntu Linux. I'm unable to start 
emacs
in a sepatate X11 Window. If I do

bash$ emacs

it starts in the terminal window. If I do

bash$ emacs & 

it just stops.

Do you have an idea what happens? 

Thanks in advance.

Misha,

Your DISPLAY environment variable is not set.
  $ echo $DISPLAY
should show something like:
  :0.0
If not, your OS didn't set it up correctly.
Try:
  $ DISPLAY=:0.0 emacs

Thanks Joost,

But your advice seems not to work.

I do:
$ echo $DISPLAY 
:0.0

$DISPLAY=:0.0 emacs 

emacs starts in the terminal window :((

What might be the problem?

Best,
Misha.

Misha,

Your emacs is probably not X11 capable?

  $ ldd /usr/bin/emacs
should list X libraries like:
  libXaw3d.so.6 and libXmt.so.6

Have you tried running emacs without any personal code? E.g.:
  $ emacs -q

Re: cant start Emacs in a sperate window

[Misha]

Dear Joost. 

I tried:
$ ldd `which emacs`
         linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
         libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 
(0xb7f82000)
         libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libm.so.6 
(0xb7f60000)
         libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 
(0xb7e31000)
         libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2 
(0xb7e2e000)
         /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7fd0000)

What does it mean?

'emacs -q' works in the same way as 'emacs'

Best,
Misha.

This version of GNU Emacs does not use X11, it's a programme which  
only runs inside a terminal emulation or on a terminal. libncurses is  
the library that handles terminals. If it would have been compiled as  
an X11 client you would get something like this (Mac OS X):

         /System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/

         /sw/lib/libXaw3d.7.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0,

[Joost Helberg]

Misha,

your emacs doesn't do X11.
You can re-compile your emacs after running configure. Configure will
automatically discover whether X11 is present.
You can also use our distributions tools, but I don't know them.

Regards,

Joost

No, it won't.  It will automatically discover whether the X11
development libraries and headers are present.  Only in that case will
it compile an X11-capable version, regardless of whether X11 is
actually running or installed at the time of compilation.

Did you install emacs21 or emacs21-nox ? The second one is compiled
without support for X.
