    Fork you??

    Okay, I actually have two problems.
    Firstly, whenever I try to use KPackageKit to search for packages to install it gives me an internal error. The details read "the backend took too long to process the synchronous request - you need to fork!".
    (A more annoyingly unhelpful explanation would be hard to imagine )
    On the odd occasion that it actually does work it usually gives me a blank list, even for a string that I KNOW should give me results. I know it should give me results because when the planets align in exactly the right way it actually works with the very same string.

    Secondly, I've tried to install GTK+ version 1.2.2 to because I need it to install XMMS. Whenever I try "./ configure" it bombs because it says "X libraries or include files not found.". I've used apt-get to install all the X libraries (I think), but it still says the same thing. I checked the config.log, and this is what it tells me at the end where it bombs:
    configure:4947: checking for X
    configure:5014: gcc -E conftest.c >/dev/null 2>conftest.out
    configure:5010:27: error: X11/Intrinsic.h: No such file or directory
    configure: failed program was:
    #line 5009 "configure"
    #include "confdefs.h"
    #include <X11/Intrinsic.h>
    configure:5090: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall conftest.c -lXt 1>&5
    configure: In function 'main':
    configure:5086: warning: implicit declaration of function 'XtMalloc'
    /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXt
    collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
    configure: failed program was:
    #line 5083 "configure"
    #include "confdefs.h"

    int main() {
    XtMalloc()
    ; return 0; }
    Can anybody help please?

    Okay, I fixed the second problem. Somehow I found a library that did the trick.
    My KPackageKit still wants me to fork myself though
