I'm trying to compile GNU Emacs to use X windows but I'm getting errors from the C compiler that boil down to several X include files not being in the directories expected. Problem is that several files (like Xkeyboard.h) don't even exist in X V11.2. Has anyone else encountered these problems and found a solution? Please reply by ARPA-mail. Thanks. John T.

The foreground one will work, just make sure to spell it with an `e' in it.

I know that I could recompile the source without >HAVE_X_WINDOWS defined, but the program is for others who want separate windows. Try using emacs -nw. -Bill
