You're right. The problem is that you don't have X, and the Emacs which is pre-built is linked against several X shared libraries. > What I do *not* want to do is install any X stuff, this is a server > and has no need of any X stuff at all. This is easy if you build your own Emacs from source and impossible (AFAIK) using the pre-built package. Just grab the Emacs sources and follow the instructions in the INSTALL file. Just be sure to use the '--without-x' option for the configure script. #ifdef FLAME_BAIT IMHO, stuff like this builds a weighty argument for building most of your applications yourself, rather than relying on pre-built packages or port systems. #endif Lucas -- S.
