Re: X Windows System

I think I didn't explain myself well.. So, I downloaded some packages (like Skins and software) that are compressed.. When I extract it I will have to write ./configure ... in the beginning this process wrote that it was an error because I don't have the c++ (so I installed the g++) and then it passes the C++ step.. Now, it say that the X directory in missing.. what is that?? can you help me on this
I did a little search in google and got that the package name is X Windows system.. how do I install this package?

Thanks..

Re: X Windows System

It means that you don't have the X Window System development files (headers and/or libraries) needed by whatever you are compiling. You need to install the xorg-devpackage to get this.

If you're also compiling KDE or KDE-related apps, you would need to install kde-devel as well.

Re: X Windows System

where can I find those two packages?

Re: X Windows System

They are in the repositories, so you can easily download them with Adept or apt-get. xorg-dev is in the main repository, while kde-devel is in the universe repository.
