not able to compile tar.gz files

[Guest Manmad]

Hi,

I am not able to compile tar.gz files.

I would get an Error

checking for X... no configure:

error: "You must have X installed"

 

not able to continue the installation.

 

If you run Xorg -configure to create and configure file,

i get a error [root@localhost xc]# Xorg -configure Fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0 If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again. Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support at http://wiki.X.Org for help. [root@localhost xc]#

 

Kindly Help

Regards

You need to install the xorg-devel packages. Mandrake uses urpmi to install programs. read the faqs for urpmi.

I'd suggest dropping back to the command prompt (if you're not there already(?)). Then tar -options file.tar.gz,

cd to the directory created,

and do a make

and then a make install.
