compiling cant find X includes

barrythai · 03-04-2005, 09:30 AM

I am trying to compile on Suse9.2 kbear and it isn't going to well.

I have placed the kbear directory in /usr/local and in the kbear directory have
run ./configure

It comes up with an error can't find X... include check path for directory.

I'am at a loss to understand what it is looking for.

Anyone know waht is missing or what the compiler is saying?

I don't know if you still need this (since kbear is running now

), but what you are looking for is a package called xorg-devel.

I have tried your suggestion but xorg-devel is not on the dvd from Linux Format.
It has installed lots of xorg-X11 but no -devel

If you can tell be where to download it I'll give it another shot, thanks I would like to try the kdegrabber as well. I know from past experience that kbear will not download files grater than 2 Gig and having tried gFTP which also will not compile I would like to have an alternative to kbear.

Thanks for your help

I think I already told you in another thread how to get access to the full 9.2 distribution. You've propably overseen this post

, so here it is again:

If you follow this procedure you can install all packages via Yast, as if they were on your CD.
