Hi all... I was trying to configure a file today and I get this error:
checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!
I have looked on google for the answer so I didnt have to bother anyone with it here. Google stated I needed the X development packages. I continued to look for a list of X packages but could not find them. Could anyone tell me the x packages I should look for and install?

Thanks for your help.

Description: X Window System client library development files pseudopackage
This package smooths upgrades from Debian 3.0 by depending on libice-dev,
libsm-dev, libx11-dev, libxext-dev, libxi-dev, libxmu-dev, libxmuu-dev,
libxp-dev, libxpm-dev, libxrandr-dev, libxt-dev, libxtrap-dev, libxtst-dev,
libxv-dev, pm-dev, x-dev, and xlibs-static-dev. This pseudopackage is only
depended upon by packages that haven't yet corrected their dependencies to
reflect the new library arrangement.
