Unable to get xemacs working on a mac

Question

I installed xemacs using macports, and then when I try to open it I see this -

$xemacs Error: Shell widget xemacs has zero width and/or height

I tried to google for this error message, but there were no helpful hits. How can I get xemacs to start without this error? Thanks

To eliminate the problem completely and to bring some joy to your life.... try Aquamacs.

p.s. stupid question, but do you have the x-server installed ?
