hello,

adding soft link definitely helps to build binary > ll /usr/lib64/
libX11.*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      11 2011-02-17 12:46 /usr/lib64/libX11.so -
> libX11.so.6

emacs runs. Unicode symbols are ok on display. instead of just \xxx as
it was with emacs-22.
But. Menu doesnt work at all, emacs always pop up File-menu. then very
unfriendly black menu bar ..
[self@galaxy7 emacs-23.2]$ ldd /usr/local/bin/emacs
        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fffe01ff000)

I have a feeling that emacs is broken and doesnt work as expected. in
my configuration. Dont know what I should look at to spot the problem.

many thanks you for help,
