   The problem I'm seeing are that when I build an Xwindows version,
   xemacs works fine, but emacs complains that it can't find
   `/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/helvBO10'.  How do I build an emacs that I
   can call inside an xterm that doesn't bring up a separate window?
When you compile Emacs with `HAVE_X_WINDOWS' defined, the executable
that gets made will try to start up its own window IF there is a
variable named `DISPLAY' in your environment.  To keep emacs from
starting up that new window, you can remove such a varaible if it
exists, or you can give emacs the `-nw' (no window) option when you
start it up.
