Using X (instead of a terminal) in Emacs compiled from CVS

I am trying to set up the latest Emacs on Ubuntu (to replace the 
slighter older version I got with apt-get). I configured --with-x and 
compiled/installed without any issues, but when I execute the new Emacs, 
it runs in the terminal instead of an X window. The older Emacs will run 
happily with or without X. Any Ubuntu/Debian users out there know what 
could be different with the one that I compiled?

Thanks,
Jay

Wow.  An offer I can't refuse.  Thanks!

How can I store myfile as pdf type using emacs?

I want to store my file edited by emacs as pdf type. I wonder if there is one .el file able to execute this
function. 
Can you tell me?

You mean the "list" that starts with a warning like:

  ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
  ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.

Please don't recommend such things to others:
Either use M-x customize-variable RET mouse-wheel-mode RET
or add (mouse-wheel-mode 1) in your .emacs.

Jay, I compiled CVS Emacs on Ubuntu GNU/Linux with no options,
I may be wrong, but that option is to configure Emacs to compile
with no X, '--with-x=no', instead of the default in which the
configure script looks for X.

In Emacs-22, this is already done for all tags:

   (defun sgml-fill-nobreak ()
     ;; Don't break between a tag name and its first argument.
     (save-excursion
       (skip-chars-backward " \t")
       (and (not (zerop (skip-syntax-backward "w_")))
            (skip-chars-backward "/?!")
            (eq (char-before) ?<))))

Only problem is that with <a href="..." the URL is often so long that the
space between <a and href is the only space on the line so fill.el ignores
fill-nobreak-predicate.

Aha!

I have no problems with that but it seems to me that it should behave
according to `delete-selection-mode'.

OTOH, the problem is probably me, failing to understand that there is
a difference between a region marked with the mouse and marked using
temporary transient mark mode.

I'm using color-theme 6.5.0 on Emacs 22.0.50.1, Linux. It works pretty
well for long.

local key swap? alternatives?

Hello,

I'm running Emacs 22.0.50.1 which I got from KarolyLorentey's multi-tty
branch, as I don't think this is related to multi-tty's patch I'm
posting here...

Long ago I came with the idea to swap keys in LaTeX buffers to be able
to type popular LaTeX characters without SHIFT, namely $%^&*()_{}.

So I thought of swapping ($,4), (%,5) etc but I wanted it only for
LaTeX-mode and never figured out how to perform a local key
swap. Instead I modified lisp/double.el to use doubles as (?4 "$" "4")
(?5 "%" "5") etc, e.g. hitting '4' once I get '$', hit twice I get '4'.
To get a decent compromise.

With my last compilation of emacs (22.0.50.1), this has stopped
working.

Two questions:

1. Is there an easy way for me to get this to work again?

2. Would anyone recommend another approach to the problem? Is there a
way to swap keys locally in Emacs?

                           -----

Thank you for your attention,
Francisco.

Re: Using X (instead of a terminal) in Emacs compiled from CVS

Well, configure options aside, one problem was that I didn't have 
xlib-dev installed on the system. Once I got that everything worked 
(with the default options for configure, as you suggested).

Thanks.
