That is what I did. (Took more then 5 minutes.) But on the first system it was compiled as a graphical Emacs and on the other as a non- graphical. In both cases I did: ./configure make On the first system 'src/emacs -q' worked allright, on the second system it did not. > > Also on the first system the background of Emacs is black and on the > > second white.

They are the same and with -q the difference in colors is the same. There is another difference. On system 1 there is a logo in the info buffer, which is not the case on system 2. Until now I did not find differences in the global initialization files.
