Doesn't this remind you of a set DISPLAY environment for Secure SHell?

I'm guessing that you: 
- are ssh'ing to a remote machine 
- ...with X-forwarding enabled in your ssh client
- ...but you have no X-server running on your local machine 
- you then installed and started an emacs on the remote machine

You can either disable X-forwarding in your ssh client, since it makes
no sense when you don't have a local X server, or you can just start
emacs with the -nw switch to have it start up in a terminal. 

Or you could install an X server - for windows there's Xming, which is
free, reasonably easy to install, and you don't need to install cygwin
with it. There are also several commercial X servers available.

I prefer to have emacs in an X window if the connection to the server
I'm working on is speedy enough: you've got more colours, so the
syntax highlighting is prettier, and you will have less problems with
the standard keybindings.

As an alternative, you can install emacs locally and make it fetch the
files you want to edit via ssh; look for the "TRAMP" manual. TRAMP is
part of the recent emacs 22 release.

 From the emacs-21.3/INSTALL file:

|   1. If you want to be able to input international characters which
|      your keyboard doesn't support directly (i.e. you cannot type
|      them at the shell prompt), download the leim-M.N.tar.gz
|      distribution and unpack it into the same directory where you have
|      unpacked the main Emacs distribution.  See ADDITIONAL
|      DISTRIBUTION FILES, below, for more about this.

...

| ADDITIONAL DISTRIBUTION FILES
|
| * leim-M.N.tar.gz
|
| The Emacs Lisp code for input methods for various international
| character scripts allows you to input characters in scripts which are
| not directly supported by your keyboard. It is distributed in a
| separate tar file because it amounts to a significant fraction of the
| size of the distribution.  This tar file is called leim-M.N.tar.gz,
| with the same version number as Emacs, and it unpacks into the
| directory emacs-M.N/leim.
|
| You should unpack leim-M.N.tar.gz into the same directory where you
| have previously unpacked the main Emacs distribution.  It fills in the
| contents of one subdirectory, which is present in the main Emacs
| distribution only in dummy form.
|
| Once you have unpacked the Leim tar file into the Emacs source tree,
| building and installing Emacs automatically installs the input method
| support as well.  If you have built Emacs without unpacking Leim
| first, just unpack Leim, build Emacs again, and install it again.
