Hello,
I'm trying to use the mouse when working inside emacs in the Linux console. I'm running Fedora 16 (LXDE spin), I installed gpm, and I compiled Emacs 24.1 from source, but copy-paste is not working. I can use the mouse to select text, but when trying to paste I get a message saying "Symbol's function definition is void: x-get-selection-internal".
When building emacs, it first complained that I was running X but had no X development libraries. So I configured it with the '--without-x' option, and at the end of the 'configure' run it said emacs would use '-lgpm'. So I'm puzzled by the 'x-' function, do I need X libraries to use the mouse ? I certainly hope not...
The emacs 23.3 that comes with Fedora is able to copy-paste in the console, but of course, I don't know how they built it. What's the right way to go about this ? How can I build and configure emacs 24.1 so that the mouse is fully functional in the Linux console wth gpm ? Am I missing some elisp package
