Why not `./configure --with-ns` as suggested in ./nextstep/INSTALL, which is referenced by both ./INSTALL and ./nextstep/README? > So I have two questions is this why I don't get a gui interface? > > More importantly can I open with a gui interface with this installation? Are you running the ./nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs executable from the terminal? Or did you run `make install` after `make`, and are running the /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs executable from the terminal? Does it help to run the executable with the -Q option? Can you re-run ./configure and post the output? > I have downloaded and installed a second version of emacs, the carbon > version which does open with the gui, I have this file in my > applications folder.
