Fluxbox Install on Redhat, unusual error during config
I recently downloaded the source for Fluxbox, a popular X manager.
I'm on a Redhat 9 system with a comprehensive install, and currently using the default window manager (Bluecurve).
Upon configuring for compilation however I recieve the following error.
./configure
. . .
checking for t_open in -lnsl... no
checking for socket in -lsocket... no
checking for X... no
configure: error: Fluxbox requires the X Window System libraries and headers.
I find it strange that it tells me that I don't have X when I'm supposedly using it.
I thought this could be a problem with RedHat, but I've seen people with Flux on their Redhat distro and my friend set up his on an identical installation using the same disk and received no such error.
In any event whether it's a problem with my OS's window management or my particular system, is there a way to obtain recognizable X headers and libraries or if anyone else has encountered this particular error, what their solution was.
Thank you for your time, all suggestions are greatly appreciated.
