problem build emacs 23 with x support

[eric5931]

I'm trying to build gnu emacs 23.2 with X support. I solved all the
warnings by "configure". But the resulted emacs just run with no
windows. I'd appreciate any help.

1- ensure you have a DISPLAY environment variable referencing your
   current display.  Usually, it means:

       export DISPLAY=:0.0
       emacs 

   You may also launch emacs with an explicit display:

      emacs --display :0.0


2- If that doesn't work, check the compilation logs.  Perhaps it
   couldn't find X libraries, so it configured a version without X
   anyways.  Then you'll have to find out why it cannot find the X
   libraries it needs, and pass additionnal options to configure to let
   it know where yours are.

Pascal,

Thanks very much. This is the cause and it is solved now.

Stefan,

I just added rpms as the configure told me to add libtiff, libjpeg,...

The problem is solved now after I set teh DISPLAY shell variable.

Thanks.
