Can't get CGoban to work

[mauro007]

I'm tring to install CGoban
http://www.igoweb.org/~wms/comp/cgoban/index.html
I tried to compile it from source code but it gave me an error saying that there wasn't an acceptable cc found in $PATH. I then installed the buld-essentials including the cvs subversion, just to get another error:

"Sorry, configure cannot find your X includes and libraries.
*** Compiling cannot continue until this is fixed.
*** If you know where your X11 is installed, try
*** ./configure --x-includes=<DIR> --x-libraries=<DIR>"

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

sudo aptitude install xlibs-dev


If you have universe enable in your sourcelist, you can just easely do this:
sudo apt-get install cgoban

Thanks, it works!
Pity I can't play against it, it only supports game servers and not a local engine.

You can play against gnugo ( universe ) locally. Select Go Modem, make one player "Human" and the other "Program". It should default to gnugo with the appropriate switches. man gnugo will give you ( very little ) more info about playing gnugo with cgoban. Enjoy!
