I'm guessing you have slackware from your description.  Use pkgtool to
uninstall emacs and relate packages.  The use it to re-install.  You
must make certain that "emacs-no-X" is the ONLY version of the emacs
binary that you select for install or it will select the X-enabled
emacs anyway.

Also look through /usr/bin to see just what /usr/bin/emacs is
symlinked to and if /usr/bin/emacs-nox (or similar) exists.
