YDL is X11 aware. When you also installed the developers packages (C  
header files), then Emacs' configure script found them, together with  
the X libraries. From this a GNU Emacs binary was compiled that is an  
X client. This kind is also the default type of GNU Emacs in Linux  
and other UNIX distributions – only Mac OS X installs a non-windowing  
GNU Emacs.

You can compile your own non-windowing GNU Emacs when you invoke  
configure with '--without-x' – or you set CPPFLAGS or make configure  
options like --x-includes=DIR or --x-libraries=DIR to point where no  
X11 related material can be found. Than you'll get a binary that  
might only use libncurses and won't be able to use a windowing  
environment ...
