Configure can't see X

[Dustpuppy]

I'm trying to install LinEAK on 9.2 using KDE and am running at Konsole

 

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc

 

as per instructions. It doesn't work because of what must be the bizarrest error I've ever got:

 

configure: error: You must have X installed

 

 

Does anyone know what's going on? The full text of what I get (if it's any use) is:

here's the old version for 9.1

http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/mandrake/9.1...-1mdk.i586.html

 

9.2? Run

urpmf xosd-config

 

and install the pkg it's in.

Thanks for the help, I've installed those and they're working fine but it still can't see X! The final lines are now:

 

checking for extra libs... no

checking for getopt.h... yes

checking if XOSD is going to be used... checking for xosd-config... /usr//bin/xosd-config

yes

checking for main in -lxosd... yes

checking for X... no

configure: error: You must have X installed

 

Is there any way it's looking for X in the wrong place or something?

do you have the devel pkgs for XFree86 installed?

 

rpm -qa | grep XFree86

[Dustpuppy]

I got:

 

XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.3-24.4.92mdk

XFree86-xfs-4.3-24.4.92mdk

XFree86-4.3-24.4.92mdk

XFree86-server-4.3-24.4.92mdk

 

so I guess not! What are the packages called that I need?

[bvc]

try

urpmi XFree86-devel

[Dustpuppy]

It works!!!

 

Thankyou so much!

 

Respect

[bvc]

You're welcome!!!

 

errors while compiling are almost always simple missing 'devel' pkgs.

 

urpmf

google

and

rpmfind.net

are the tools to to solve the prob...and of course this board thereafter ;)
