Followed the instructions in the INSTALL text to install it. Everything seems to went fine. When trying to run or open the Emacs receive this error: --------------------------------------------------------------- Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified emacs: Cannot connect to X server :0.0. Check the DISPLAY environment variable or use `-d'. Also use the `xhost' program to verify that it is set to permit connections from your machine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not sure what the problem is. When open the Emacs like this, a window opens, but the menu on top is not available and when closing the Emacs window it closes the whole X window. However, from my bash console, I can easily open an X window using xterm command, the X window opens with no problem, but running the Emacs rises the above error. Please let me know of any idea. Thanks, Ronit
