Problem in configuring w/ X includes
Hey y'all-
I had a problem earlier with Suse 9.1 Personal not coming with gcc. That's solved. Except I think I'm missing a library or something along those lines. Here's my problem: I downloaded the source for kcheckmail, and went to do the ./configure It gets a good ways and then comes screaming at me with: checking for X ... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths! Anyone know which includes/libraries/anything I need? Thanks, Jason |
Check that you've installed the XFree86-devel package.

Well I installed the XFree86-devel package, and now I get this error:
checking for libz... configure: error: not found. Possibly configure picks up an outdated version installed by XFree86. Remove it from your system. Check your installation and look into config.log I already installed the zlib package, which appears to provide libz, but maybe I'm on something. Anyways, this error is a few lines after the previous error, so we're making some ground here. But I still have some ways to go. I think I should have just gotten Suse Pro. Any ideas? Thanks, Jason |
If you read the config.log file, it will show you where it's found whatever it thinks is zlib.
Also, for all of these make sure that you have the -devel version of the package installed; you will need this to compile anything against each library in question. |
thx that helped me too

I solved the initial zlib problem by looking in the config.log, of course after posting though :)
Apparently it was trying to find zlib.h, but for some reason mine was in include/linux instead of X11RS/... So I just made a link to it. Hopefully that won't cause any issues. But now more problems ... Apparently I'm missing confdefs.h. So now I get to find it, then put it somewhere. Is there a catch-all development package I should look at getting? Thanks again, Jason |
