    Compiling from source

    Im trying to compile something from source, and its coming back with this error:

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

    From my searching, i have to apt-get x-window-system-dev.... only it apparently doesnt exsist? am i missing something?

    Do you have build-essential installed?

      Its probably libx11-dev that you need.

        yeah, i have build-essential installed. that was the first error i was getting. Fixed that, now im going for the second one

        I really appreciate the quick responses. Im installing libx11-dev now, see if that does the trick.

        I quite often spend a good hour or so searching forums and googling things to find these fixes but after i try a dozen different things, i ask a question or two.

        Edit: Its a no go on the libx11-dev.. still getting that same error

              I got it all figured out guys, thanks
              It was indeed xorg-dev ( figured that out after i found out how to search the cache )
              followed by libqt3-mt-dev and kdelibs4-dev

              Thanks for all the help
