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.
