Thanks , good guess, that sounds like it could fit.

I currently have emacs-21.4 installed with the same options as follows:

[ebuild  NS   ] app-editors/emacs-22.1  USE="X alsa gif gtk jpeg png spell  
tiff
xpm -Xaw3d -gzip-el -hesiod -lesstif -motif -sound -source  
-toolkit-scroll-bars"

Is there one of those build options that I need to turn on to make this  
into a "working" emacs?

TIA.
