Dependency Problems with my Kubuntu

[bicho]

I am running kubuntu (6.06) on my vmware using Windows XP.

Kubuntu didn't come with the normal dependencies, I don't understand why is so popular, you have to install a lot of crap to install other programs.

For example, I am trying to install Superkaramba on my Kubuntu, and when I do the ./configure command comes with the following dependency error:

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

Even when I run firefox comes with problems (./firefox)
"X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 166
Major opcode: 144
Minor opcode: 3
Resource id: 0x0
Failed to open device
X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 166
Major opcode: 144
Minor opcode: 3
Resource id: 0x0
Failed to open device"

Then after that comes with an unlimited lines of errors like these:

"(firefox-bin:24727): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_from_drawable: assertion `gdk_window_is_viewable (src)' failed

(firefox-bin:24727): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_n_channels: assertion `pixbuf != NULL' failed

And that just a few...
Firefox runs though...

Any suggestions

Re: Dependency Problems with my Kubuntu

SuperKaramba is available in the repositories, so you can save yourself some trouble by installing using that.

Also, to compile stuff, you need the build-essential package installed. This will install everything you need to install from source. The reason why it isn't included included in a default installation is because Ubuntu/Kubuntu targets regular desktop users who usually don't need to compile things.

Hope that helps.

Re: Dependency Problems with my Kubuntu

Superkaramba is not in the package manager if thats what you meant.

Anyway I got rid of that problem using the package manager to install the missing dependencies.

Superkaramba is in the repositories. It's in the universe repository.
