i connect to a gnu/linux server through telnet. on the server, emacs is installed, but X is not. when i try to start emacs, it gives the foll error (i guess this is because emacs is trying to start X).

emacs: error in loading shared libraries: libXaw3d.so.7: cannot open shared obje ct file: No such file or directory

is there any way to start emacs in the non-gui mode (i know this can be done, but don't know how to do it). at my home, if i open emacs in the prompt mode (with the X stopped), it opens automatically in the non-gui mode.

type "emacs -nw" to start in non-window mode.
