1- ensure you have a DISPLAY environment variable referencing your
   current display.  Usually, it means:

       export DISPLAY=:0.0
       emacs 

   You may also launch emacs with an explicit display:

      emacs --display :0.0


2- If that doesn't work, check the compilation logs.  Perhaps it
   couldn't find X libraries, so it configured a version without X
   anyways.  Then you'll have to find out why it cannot find the X
   libraries it needs, and pass additionnal options to configure to let
   it know where yours are.
