Emacs - Undefined color

[Iain Stephen <i.stephen@tiscali.co.uk>]

Hi all,

I have a problem with Emacs. After installing it, it wouldn't start so I
tried starting it from bash but it keeps reporting
Undefined color: "black" and dumping me back to bash.

I'm assuming Emacs can't find /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt to get the color
names. I've checked and its a link to /etc/X11/rgb.txt (which exists and
seems to be OK with the correct permissions)

If this is the problem how do I tell Emacs how to find this file? I've
tried adding it to PATH which didn't work.
