-*** Emacs won't work with X-windows if the value of DISPLAY is HOSTNAME:0.
-*** Gnus can't make contact with the specified host for nntp.

-
-The result is that most programs, using the shared library, work with
-the nameserver, but Emacs does not.

-The fix is to install an unshared library that corresponds to what you
-installed in the shared library, and then relink Emacs.

-If you have already installed the name resolver in the file libresolv.a,
