How do i go about it if I want emacs to pop op in a separate window like it has done here:

I've done
Code:

USE="-X -motif" emerge emacs

so emacs stuck in the terminal right now. I'm not not interested in using XEmacs.

Thanks
Michael

Hi Michael,

It would seem to me you are disabling X, as far as I know, you should use

USE="X motif" emerge emacs

To get the X-based emacs (or maybe just leave out the USE="...").

A second thing that could make emacs show in terminal style would be a system-variable, like DISPLAY, if this is not set, emacs might think there is no display, thus show up in the terminal, in text-style.
