William Xue,
do you get this problem when you open up a new cpp file? e.g.
$ emacs new-file.cpp
Yes, the message is in *Messages* buffer.

Your are right you don't need X-windows. Emacs will detect if its in
an X-win or not and choose the console interface if not.
Maybe try to:
(1) reinstall it
I tried. The same problem.
(2) uninstall and try the 21.12.13 or previous version
Yes, it covered the issue. But some functions are missing in those
versions.
Like, next-buffer.
(3) try building it from scratch. The autoconfig
and other tools will configure it for your system. etc...
configure using the " --without-x" if you don't want
it to handle x-windows at all..
(4) if you were going to do this (build from source) you might as
well try the latest emacs
I have downloaded the sourcecodes from cvs(both emacs22 and
emacs-unicode-2),
but the build effort was failed. I used following steps:
./configure
make bootstrap

P.S. Since I am using GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1, built from cvs, I can't
duplicate your environment. Sorry.

at least -nw was not useful.
About the manual, C-h f could not find the x-popup-menu.
Could you show me something in detail?
