Can't Find X Includes

[SimonomiS]

Hey, pretty new to linux, using Kubuntu Breezy and trying to ./configure something, but get given the error "Can't Find X Includes".

I've searched around and found I probably need some -dev packages, but I'm not sure which ones.

apt-get install kde-base

Gives me "Couldn't find package", which I also get for numerous -dev/-devel packages I've tried to install. Any ideas?

Also, how do I fix kopete from looking like:

Re: Can't Find X Includes

first, you will need to install build-essential, to install the basic compilers/tools you will need. Then you can install kdelibs4-dev, which will also install a *lot* of dependencies, but which should allow you to compile a lot of things.

As a new linux user, I would suggest that you first see if you really need to actually do this.
Search around Adept, and http://packages.ubuntu.com to see if something is already there.
There are many things available in the repositories, especially Multiverse and universe

Really helpful, cheers.

It was the moodin-splash engine, which was on the backports multiverse, so you were right, I really didn't have to go about getting dev packages.

And I installed Gaim instead of Kopete.

However, another problem and I feel starting a new thread would be pointless:

When I insert my USB Memory Stick, I get given the error message;
"An error occurred while loading media:/sda1:
The file or folder media:/sda1 does not exist."

In most cases it's better to start a new thread with the new problem, that helps both the people who might be able to help you and the people with the same problem to find the question...of course, searching the forums first is even better
