Emacs Image Support

I have an interest in using image support in Emacs, as described here http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/elisp/html_node/Images.html

I have Emacs 23.2, but none of the image commands I tried were available, including display-images-p. (Or I try to start them incorrectly, I use the typical thing M-x.)

Any idea what I am missing? If you ask me to indicate that I can run create-image, I will be happy.

What is strange is that I see a fantastic splash screen (with this image http://www.ee.ryerson.ca/~elf/powerbook/images/emacs-aa.png ), so it has some support.

Additional Information:

  • My Emacs was compiled and supposedly configured mostly by default. (`./configure --without-sound` basically, plus some things for directory layout here.)
  • If you press "up" a couple of times from the link to the manual link above, it says that the manual version is for 23.2, so I think the versions should match.
  • Linux distribution of RHEL 5.

Only commands - functions that call (interactive)- can be run with M-x.

All functions (commands or others) can be evaluated in other ways. Mickey recently posted a short summary on his Mastering Emacs blog, so I'll just point you to this:
