how to start ratpoison?

I downloaded ratpoison and installed it. However, (1) when I start it from the gnome-terminal I get the error message: ``ratpoison: there can be only ONE'' (assuming that it can't be open at the same time as gnome); (2) I go to the system console (Ctrl-Alt-F1) and invoke ratpoison, it complains that it cannot open display. How do I get ratpoison started? [P.S.: I am very new at linux and just want to use emacs on a screen that maximizes screen space -- ratpoison seems to be very good at this.]--evaristegalois
