Hi, thanks to everyone who responded.

I didn't have x-windows, (the computer is used as a server, it's stacked 
behind a couch in someone else's office, and does not have a monitor)
and so there was no X libraries.

So, I have recompiled Emacs and replaced the one from the package in 
/usr/local/bin and that fixed the problem

Thanks again.

Ilya
