Post relevant part of source.

graphics.h is not part of the standard C library; I believe it's something found under Windows. If you're looking to make GUIs under Linux, then you'll want to look at a toolkit like GTK+. If you're interested in making text-based interfaces, then you probably want ncurses.

Easiest Graphics.h Installation Guide
 

Well, you need to explicitly install graphics libraries to get graphics working in your C and C++ Programs in Linux Ubuntu.

The Libgraph package includes the graphics files. Find the Complete Installation Details in the link here:

Run Graphics.h in Ubuntu

The Libgraph is an old package for building graphical UI. Apart from Libgraph, there are so many other packages for graphics in Ubuntu as well such as OpenGL, GLUT and others.

Long long time ago there was svgalib, but by now it either ceased to exist or lost its importance as using of X Window became common.
Maybe Java could be suggested for such drawing projects...

if you are still using software from 2011
you might want to upgrade to newer things

Hello and welcome to the forum, ardvark71!
Just as a suggestion, you might want to look closer at
a) a thread's age
b) op's post count

combining those two, how likely do you think it is that they come back and actually read your religious propaganda.

One of the best posts I've seen in a while....thank you! :)

So much post and no one could tell you what means <graphics.h> ;)

Man, your 9 posts are quite depressing.

Have you ever heard of graphics.h to answer the author of the thread?


edit: best answer on the list from tushar05

Did you happen to notice that the thread is FIVE YEARS OLD, and the OP hasn't been back for three years now, and never followed up/posted again??? Tushar05's answer is accurate...NOW..wasn't in 2011 when asked.

Not sure about that, looks like libgraph was developed around 2004-2006. http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/libgraph/

a good replacement that is very active today ( and not from the last decade )

but this thread is from 2011

After 5 years and >10 posts, maybe, we could give him the solutions how to compile something with graphics.h, no?

Maybe 15-20 years ago, this was obvious... today, so why not telling the truth first? One could say how it was compiled in the past, and likely how to manage the compilation today. There are at least 3 or 4 methods to make revive the graphics.h.
