Re: Installing emacs-22.0.50!

[Richard Stallman]

    and no experience in building a software like  emacs. My system is linux 
    mandrake 10.1

If Mandriva says the system is "Linux", they are misleading you.  What
you are using is the GNU system, with Linux as the kernel (see
http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html).  Please don't call the
system "Linux".

    command i do "src/emacs -q " and I get an emacs without window. It uses the 
    terminal display not its own window.

It sounds like ./configure did not realize that your system has X11 in it.
Why that happened, I can't guess; you would have to investigate.

     Also when I press F10 to display the menu it appears "f==>File" 
    hit"f" to open the File menu a get this mesage " Symbol's value as variable 
    is void: menu-updating-frame.

I understand that problem, and I will work on it.
