The original X11 emacs runs in a terminal window only. I didn't find
anything to make it open an X window. I then switched to fink Emacs
which runs perfectly and I am using it everyday.
There is nothing wrong with the Apple emacs build:
Since the default installation of OS X is *without* X11 environment,
Apple provided emacs built with no X11 support. You get the same result
with *any* emacs if on the command line you issue: 'emacs -nw'.
The option -nw is hard-wired on OS X in that it cannot assume X11
environment is present. If you compile fink emacs with no x11 you get
the same result as with Apple provided one: only terminal run.
