I am trying to ./configure a package after installing all the recommended development tools, packages and gcc I get the folling error:

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

The package I'm trying to configure is synce-kde. I eventually installed it with apt-get but would like to know, how to compile from the sources. I'm new to the whole configure, make, make install environment.

Thanks. :wink:

Hi,
i think you have also to install these two packages:
x-dev
libx11-dev

maybe just one of the two is enough for your needs but they are quite small packages.

I have both packages installed (x-dev and libx11-dev) as well as numerous other x11 dev packages and I still get the Can't find X includes error message when trying to compile a KDE theme. Any ideas about what I am missing (KDE dev files maybe?)

Hi,

Try installing kdebase-dev.

Yes, thank you, that did the trick ... I had realized that earlier but I forgot to edit the post. Thanks for the input though!

cut and paste the output from ./configure, and I can probably help.

I have the same problem:

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


I used apt-get to install kdebase-dev, but some paqueges were not installed:
mesa-common-dev_6.5.0-0ubuntu 1_all.deb
libgl1-mesa-dev_6.5.0-0ubuntu 1_i386.deb
libglu1-mesa-dev_6.5.0-0ubunt u1_i386.deb

I think it is because I have compiz installed and it tries to get these paqueges from the "compiz repositories".

How can I fix this? Is this going to cause any problem with compiz?

Thanks

I am having a similar problem trying to install GPS software package called Navit. This is the error I get after I extract the files and execute the ./configure command:
...
checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate
appending configuration tag "F77" to libtool
checking for X... no
Can not find X

Thanks for your help!!
