What exactly are you doing here?

Presumably you're running Emacs on a remote, Linux, server, and trying to display it locally using XQuartz over ssh X forwarding?

If so then the locally installed version of Emacs is irrelevant. It's not used in any way. You want to look at the version of Emacs installed on the remote server.

As u/fiddlerwoaroof said, you need to install lucid emacs on the server.

If you just want to run it locally on your Mac then forget about X, install the brew version and it'll Just Work. But it sounds like you already have that working.

sorry for the all all confusion. Actually we have a linux system with GEOS-Chem running. i connect to this server with ssh on my m1 air to edit input files, but i cant open emacs. the only way to do it is through terminal which i am not much familar. is there any other option through which is edit file in GUI mode in my machine. lucid emacs seems not easy installation. can i install mavim on remote sever and then open files with local machine with macvim.

Another option is to run a local Emacs and access the remote files over ssh via Tramp.

E.g.: C-x C-f /ssh:USERNAME@HOST:/path/to/file

You can read about Tramp in its own manual: C-h i g (tramp) RET
