getting X includes

I'm trying to build a bunch of different MP3 players from source. Everytime I run the configure script for the different files, I get output saying

Code:

checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!

This is Fedora Core 3. What do I do?

install this package ( from your install cd's/dvd)
xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.FC3.13

Hi,

Sorry for posting in somebody else's thread. But I did not want to create a new thread on the same topic.

I am also getting the same error when I tried to install k3b and kaffiene from source.The only difference being that I am using Fedora Core 1.

Does anybody know what package to install for Fedora Core 1 for these X includes

Thanx in anticipation

xfree86-devel or something similar.

Yup figured that out. Thanx :)

However I need more help to install k3b.

Now if I do a ./configure in the k3b-0.11.23 folder (extracted from the tarball package), I get the following error : :scratch:

Code:

checking for KDE... configure: error:

in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.

So, check this please and use another prefix!

[koodoo@localhost k3b-0.11.23]$

I don't know what this means or how to rectify this. :cry:
Please help.

Thanx again

Do you have the KDE development packages installed? From my yum list:

Code:

kdebase-devel.i386                      6:3.4.0-0.fc3.1        installed

kdebindings-devel.i386                  3.4.0-0.fc3.0          installed

kdeedu-devel.i386                        3.4.0-0.fc3.0          installed

kdegames-devel.i386                      6:3.4.0-0.fc3.0        installed

kdegraphics-devel.i386                  7:3.4.0-0.fc3.0        installed

kdelibs-devel.i386                      6:3.4.0-0.fc3.0        installed

kdemultimedia-devel.i386                6:3.4.0-0.fc3.0        installed

kdenetwork-devel.i386                    7:3.4.0-0.rc1.2        installed

kdepim-devel.i386                        6:3.4.0-0.fc3.0        installed

kdesdk-devel.i386                        3.4.0-0.fc3.0          installed

kdeutils-devel.i386                      6:3.4.0-0.fc3.0        installed

kdewebdev-devel.i386                    6:3.4.0-0.fc3.0        installed

(You probably don't need all of these. I'd suggest that you start with kdebase, kdedsk and kdeutils.)

Oh, in case you're wondering, I did a "full" install of FC3, so I've got a lot of stuff for which I have, as yet, no use.

You need to install kdelibs-devel.

Hi,

Thanx for the response guys.

I installed arts-devel and kdelibs-devel and configure went fine. :)

But I now have another error.

When I do ./configure it works fine and in the end gives a Configuration results report as well : :cool:

Code:

 

[koodoo@localhost k3b-0.11.23]$ ./configure

--------------------------------------------------------------

---------------lots of output------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------

Configure results:

------------------------------------------

Ogg Vorbis support:                    yes

 

Mp3 decoding support (libmad):          no

    You are missing the libmad headers and libraries

    The Mp3 decoding plugin won't be compiled.

 

FLAC support:                          yes

 

Audio resampling:        using K3b version

 

Resmgr support:                        no

 

Audioplayer available (aRts)          yes

 

Compile K3bSetup 2:                    yes

------------------------------------------

 

 

Good - your configure finished. Start make now

 

[root@localhost k3b-0.11.23]#

But when I do make it gives an error : :cry:

Code:

[koodoo@localhost k3b-0.11.23]$make

------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------again lots of output-------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyone??

I then installed all the packages available under kde-software development in Fedora Core 1 namely :

Code:

qt-devel

arts-devel

kdelibs-devel





kdesdk-devel

libxslt-devel

kdegraphics-devel

kdbg

kdesdk

qt-designer

kde-utils-devel

cdparanoia-devel

pilot-link-devel

kdepim-devel

PyQt-devel

sane-backends-devel

kdebase-devel

kdenetwork-devel

sip-devel

cups-devel

I know that only very few of these are needed but I installed the complete kde-software development package and then tried MAKE again but to no avail :cry:
I got the same error message.

Any ideas??

Please guys help me in this. I've heard about k3b a lot and really want to get it to work.
I seem to be bugging you people a lot. Please bear with me.

Thanx again in anticipation.

you should really try to find a package available for your distro, using your distro's package manager. what you are missing is libart_lgpl ( and the -devel), install it and you should be good.

Hi,

Thanx for the suggestion but I always thought installing from source was the best option.
I don't know how to use Yum but I'll try to configure it and use it for installing packages. Till then I don't have much options.

I also installed libart_lgpl and then tried make on k3b. I got another error :

Code:



/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -laudiofile

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make[3]: *** [k3b] Error 1

make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/koodoo/k3b-0.11.23/src'

make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/koodoo/k3b-0.11.23/src'

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/koodoo/k3b-0.11.23'

make: *** [all] Error 2

[root@localhost k3b-0.11.23]#

The make went for a long time before this error was encountered.
So much trying and just when I thought I had made it I got this error. :cry:
Tried Googling on laudiofile and I couldn't make much of it. :scratch:

I am very grateful for the help which I got.
Just a little more of it and I may be through.

Thanx again in anticipation.

you are missing libaudiofile ( it comes with audiofile).

Hi,

You are GREAT!!! man.

Thanx for the help.

I installed all the nvftools from sourceforge namely:

audiofile
audiofile-devel
nvftools

and everything went fine. I was finally able to run k3b

Hardwork paid in the end :D but it would not have been possible without the expert help you offered :cool:

I also googled for the missing laudiofile error and found a few more explanations. :study:

Thanx again you've helped a great deal and saved me a lot of trouble.

a good place to look when you need something :

http://lfs.osuosl.org/blfs/view/stable/

it doesn't have everything, but it has a good amount of stuff as well as what dependencies apps/libraries need and optional dependencies. if you are going to be compiling from source, I also recommend you learn how to make packages of your builds to make life easier. when you want to upgrade or remove a package, you can do it with a single command as opposed to either keeping the source around to uninstall it or manually pulling things out of your filesystem. The second benefit of making packages deals with the way rpm works, since you are running an rpm distro. rpm will search it's database for dependencies, the database does not get upgraded when you install from source, but making a package and installing it will resolve this. look into rpmbuild or checkinstall for instructions how to build rpm's.

Thanx for the link.
It has a whole lot of information.

Thanx also for the advice.
Package management using RPM's seems to be a better option.
I'll also try to learn how to build packages.

Looks like I have got to do a bit of reading...

Thanx again for the help.
