    checking for X... no (Error encountered when building rdesktop)

    Hi guys,

    I'm trying to build rdesktop ver 1.4.1 on my new Kbuntu setup. 

    When I run configure, I've encountered the following error: 
    checking for X... no 

    Based on my search via google, other OS are suggesting the absence of X due to the missing "XFree86-devel-<version-number>".

    Ubuntu/Debian seems to be moving away from XFree86 to X.org
    I'm confused  on the package that I should install since XFree86 is pointing to ver 4.3 while X.org is pointing to version 6.8 

    I can locate the packages on Debian.org, but is that the place I should be looking at for the x-devel packages?

    Does anyone know which package to use for Ubuntu 5.1?

    Any suggestions are welcomed & appreciated.

    Thanks in advance for your help...


    Rgds,
