Everytime I want to install something onto my SimplyMepis system manually, I have to use the ./configure command. However, this comment ends up at the end every time I try:
Code:
checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!

Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks for reading this,

Yes you most likely need to install the xorg-dev package to get the development files and while your at it you may as well install apt-file. Using apt-file update as root will build its index of the packages available then as normal user you can use apt-file search file/missing.h to find the package containing the missing file so you can install it. Another program to think about installing is checkinstall this allows you to make a .deb package that can be installed, it is used in place of the make install command.
thank you so much. I got past that error, and then promptly hit another roadblock
This is the error I get now
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!
i ran the ./configure command. Is this the correct thing to write, or should i put something else.

Install kde-devel and before it gives you the QT error libqt3-headers and libqt3-mt-dev.
