When you get this type of error on your compiles you should install the development version of the package that it cannot find.

what do you mean install the development version?

"what do you mean install the development version?"

Distributions come with 2 versions of many packages. For example SuSE provides kdelibs3 and kdelibs3-devel. So whatever package ./configure says that it cannot find install your distributions development version of that package.

it says it cannot find X just like i said in my first post

OMGGG...I am unable to compile anything. Everything i try to compile, once i type ./configure,....it goes through everything, but then this is the error i get every time...

checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!

wat does this mean!!!!

thanks

actually i dont have the devel package installed. it says that in need fontconfig-devel....but when i go to install that, there are a ton of dependencies that i have to install like 50 of them so i did not install the devel xorg package/.....

What installation medium are you using?
I mention this because not all packages are available on the 5CD set, but on the DVD. If you don't have the DVD, try to add a SUSE mirror to your installation sources. Typically, the installation of the xorg-x11-devel package should not cause any dependency errors when installed with YaST.

yes I have the dvd edition...i bout the suse 9.3 for dummies book, and it came with the dvd....when i try to install xorg-x11-devel, it says i need fontcofig-devel, and then when i try to install that one, i get a ton of dependencies, and some of the ones that come up on the list, i already have installed, yet it does not recognize them!!!>>

thanks
dont know whats going on but thanks.

Why aren't you using YAST to do all this? It will resolve the dependencies for you.

When i went in YAST, and searched for the devel packages, i could not find any devel packages. So i had to go and download the devel rpm packages, and then install them using YAST. and when i try to install the rpm packages, it says there are dependencies, and shows the ones that i have to install. But some of them i have installed all ready, but it does not see them for some reason.!!!!!!!!.....anyway im still having dependencies when trying to install the devel packages....and its annoying because there are a lot of things that i want to compile, like themes...and stuff.. anyway...hopefully we can come up with some answers lol


thanks
