This is quite true. My purpose was to be able to run
XEmacs in graphics mode, which is built, and runs just
fine as a terminal based program. However, when I built
it, I'm sure that it simply didn't bother to link in
all the X stuff. The point is, if X *had* been there
when I build the program (and I did not know that it
was not), it would have built as an X client, but with
no X, it still builds as a terminal program.
