Hi, I am a newbie of Linux.

I have downloaded XEmacs 21.4.15 (the latest stable version) and use the commands below to configure and install it.
>./configure --with-widgets=gtk
>make
>make install
But I only can run it in Terminal (not pop up a window of XEmacs).

I found a page in official XEmacs website
which is called Gtk-XEmacs (in the last line of the left column in XEmacs website, sorry that I can't post a URL here because that's my first post.)
It is about gtk/XEmacs.
I tried the commands in the Chapter - Steps to build Gtk-XEmacs in this page. But when I input the password provided in this page, I got no reply.

My questions are:
1) In many Linux distributions it contains a GUI version of Emacs/XEmacs, what's the difference between GUI version and console version?
2) How to install a GUI version?

Thanks very much for your time and work indeed.

Ummm ... one uses a text-mode only interface, the other
also has icons on a button-bar? One needs X, the other
will run in a normal console or in an xterm ...
Xemacs (as the name suggests) doesn't have a
text-only interface.


Preferably install xemacs from the RedHat CDs...


Cheers,
