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.

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.
