Hi all.

I'm about to reinstall Emacs, having reinstalled my sstem due to its 
breaking its previously breaking its poor electronic neck. I'm installing 
Slackware v3.10 from CD, but since it only comes with Emacs 19.31, I'm 
installing Emacs 20.2 from the GNU source-code CDRom. I used this 
previously when I didn't have X, but this time I'm installing X as well. 
Can I compile Emacs with the standard "./configure", "make" and "make 
install", or do I need to tell it explicitly to use X libraries already 
on my system?

Thanks.
Ben
