That is what I did. (Took more then 5 minutes.) But on the first
system it was compiled as a graphical Emacs and on the other as a non-
graphical. In both cases I did:
./configure
make
On the first system 'src/emacs -q' worked allright, on the second
system it did not.

They are the same and with -q the difference in colors is the same.
There is another difference. On system 1 there is a logo in the info
buffer, which is not the case on system 2. Until now I did not find
differences in the global initialization files.
