Hello Mark,

To use the graphical components of emacs (as with most packages), build
it like this:

  $ rpm --rebuild --define 'with_x11 yes' emacs-21.3-1.3.0.src.rpm

Check out the possible options of a package with

  $ rpm -qip ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/1.3/SRC/emacs-21.3-1.3.0.src.rpm

Just a clue, there are more graphics options than just x11 in the emacs
package that you might be interested in. Check them out.

Also, there's a 'xemacs' current (not release) package as well.

Regards,
Michael
