Can't find X message

eloyj88 · 06-03-2004, 10:38 PM

Hello
I'm trying to install KXDocker and when I'm compiling it tells me this:
checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!
I would greatly appreciate if someone could tell me what this means and how I can fix this problem.

For Mandrake or SuSE you probably need the X 'devel' RPMs. They include headers the app needs to build itself.

If you do have them and it still doesn't work, try './configure --x-includes=DIR' or something.

I'm facing the same problem, eloyj88. How did you go about installing the X devel RPMs?

I used the package managing program that mandrake offers. Since I'm also a newbe I just selected the ones that I thought might be needed. But since I reformatted my PC and now I'm running knoppix I can't really tell you which packages I selected.

Okay, thanks.
