I tried calling the procedures edit, edwin or create-editor, and this
is what I got (only the edit, edwin and create-editor change, to avoid
repeating):

1 ]=> (edit)
;Can't find any usable display type;To continue, call RESTART with an
option number:; (RESTART 1) => Return to read-eval-print level 1.
2 error> (RESTART 1)
;Abort!

Yes, they do (during ./configure stage).
