emacs is an editor with text/graphic interface
so u can compile emacs with out graphic-x interface
or! u can just d/l the pkg xlib (./x11) and install it - emacs is not the only
one app that have text/x interface , u whould have the same prob with ytalk
but u can always get the src (well almoust) and compile it with out the Xlib
needed.
one or the other

Install the package 'xlib'.

yes, just install the "xlib" package -- it's small, just enough shared
libraries to let the program run.  It won't actually *use* the X code
if you don't have $DISPLAY set, and it is in the end cleaner than
having seperate packages for X and non-X versions...
