emacs in X

[kev31mc]

I am running X 4.0.2 and RH. I dl'd the latest emacs and emacs-X11 rpm's and installed them and what I get is emacs in an xterm rather than a new window almost as if the -nw (no window) switch was used. Could the no window setting be set in some file somewhere or am I missing something.

Thanks,
Kevin

xemacs?

I'm running xemacs and am having the same problem. Thanks for posting the problem.

I've been doing a little research the past couple of days. As soon as I find something, I'll post it right away (if someone else doesn't do it before me).

No, regular emacs. I figured out my problem though. /usr/local/bin/emacs != /usr/bin/emacs for some reason. The way my path variables are set /usr/local/bin gets checked before /usr/bin/emacs does so the no window version gets executed. i copied the emacs from /usr/bin/emacs to /usr/local/bin/emacs and all is fine now. I don't know if there is a more elegant sol'n but this one suits my purpose.

Kevin
