Emacs comes as a number of RPMs. Emacs is is just the base stuff, e.g. the
libraries that you need. You need to install either emacs-X11 (if you want the
X client), or (more likely in your case) emacs-nox if you want the curses (text
mode) version. Emacs-X11 creates /usr/bin/emacs, and emacs-nox creates
/usr/bin/emacs-nox.
