More likely, he installed the emacs from packages, which was compiled
for him.  Emacs has always compiled out of the box for me, just follow
the instructions in the README or INSTALL file.  Basically, when you
are running configure, do

        ./configure --with-x=no
        make
        make install

and it should mostly do the right thing.

Alternatively, download the X libraries.
