Guest tommie_ramirezandujar Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Hi: I recently upgraded from MDK 10 to MDK 10.1 Offcial, I installed all the commonly used packages but I want to prepare any tar.gz pack though the classic "configure+make+make install" , I get the following message... ---- checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths! --- What could that be.Greetings tommie [moved from Software by spinynorman - welcome aboard :)] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchem Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 I think you need to install the x-devel libs. They should be available in urpmi although you may need to mess around for a while finding the correct name. Have you checked that the program you're trying to compile isn't available via urpmi?

aru Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 That's right, you need to have installed the X header file; so to find out where is such file (X.h) do a rpm data base search with urpmf: aru@mandrakeusers ~$ urpmf "/X\.h$" libxorg-x11-devel:/usr/X11R6/include/X11/X.h so you need to install the libxorg-x11-devel package but, in case you already have it installed try to compile your application adding something like this to the ./configure run: aru@mandrakeusers ~$ ./configure --with-headers(*) /usr/X11R6/include/X11/X.h (*) or whatever use that configure script for such task HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
