I have noticed that I get some melpa error messages.  I generally
ignore all of those.

I'll try again when I get a chance.  I have a couple of questions for
you, so I can replicate your setup more accurately.

1.  Are you running "emacs -nw", or are you running on a terminal
where you don't have DISPLAY set, so then the text mode is just the
way it works out?

2.  Did you compile your own emacs from source?  Maybe I am compiling
with different options than what you are using.  Can you put your
config.status file somewhere?  I'll then recompile my emacs, using
your config.status on my compile.

Thanks,
Rob
