| I've emerged emacs and xemacs. Launched from an xterm, neither come up dressed in the familiar X garb. I.e., it appears to be the non-X version. What did I do wrong? Thanks. |

Did you modify your USE flags when compiling or in /etc/make.conf?
Also, echo $DISPLAY from your terminal and see whether it is correct. If your display variable is not set when you launch it, (x)emacs will launch a non-windowed session. Try:
| Code: |
export DISPLAY=:0.0; emacs

i'm trying to do the same thing
| Code: | | export DISPLAY=:0.0; emacs |
but setting DISPLAY to 0.0 doesn't do it for me. i checked /etc/make.conf, and the only USE variable i set is...
any idea why this doesn't work? i didn't do anything fancy with emacs, just emerged it.
thanks in advance.

This could just be a typo in your post, but don't forget the ':'.

Mmm... In my aterm DISPLAY seems to properly set from the get-go.
Be sure you are not a different user.. ie.. root when trying to run any x apps from the terminal. it should then come up with an X auth error. does this happen in your case?

Make sure you have the use X flag....? Perhaps emacs wasn't compilex with X support. |
