i got this message while trying to configure wine:

*** Warning: X development files not found. Wine will be built without
*** X support, which currently does not work, and would probably not be
*** what you want anyway. You will need to install devel packages of
*** Xlib/Xfree86 at the very least.

im not too sure what exact packages they are refering to. Any help would be appreciated.

Should be a rpm called Xorg-6.x.x-devel or Xfree86-4.x.x-devel available. You will need this for anything that you want to compile with a gui. Check on your installation cd's.

I have same problem, im total nb in linux, (installed Mandrake 10.1 two weeks ago) so i tried to search with urpmi, but get next:

[root@Doink /]# urpmi -v xorg

.......i know rpmfind.net, and find rpms what you are talking about, but i wonder is relation between packages you are talking about and the list that urpmi command gave me, also do i need them?
...and one more, like i understand in this way packages where not installed, just list of available one, right? should i whrite full name in case i want to install one from this list, example: urpmi XFree86-3DLabs?

Big Thanx.

Xorg and XFree86 are two different things - make sure you are not mixing them together. you have Xorg installed ( not many distro's still use XFree86 anymore), so make sure all the packages you are getting are for Xorg AND for Mandrake 10.1 ( don't go grab suse packages or Fedora packages, the more you stick with official packages the cleaner you system will stay).

those two are what you want, but remember on an rpm distro if you didn't install everything development related during install it's gonna take you some time to get the system set up to compile.
if you are planning on compiling, make sure you have a complete development environment ( if you're not hurting for harddrive space, just install everything development related you can find in rpmdrake, this will save you some headaches.)

Thank you _J, i just missed your word or, got it like and , my fault...
My way of getting things is slow and i still haven't installed xfree86 (but i did xorg)..and of course for mandrake but tnx anyway...
So far i will try not to install everything to my system, ill do it step by step to figure out what it for (now i know smf about xorg!)
This was my first tar.gz installation and i think i done it
