    Compiling error - No package 'x11' found

    Full error

    No package 'x11' found

    Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
    installed software in a non-standard prefix.

    Alternatively, you may set the environment variables X11_CFLAGS
    and X11_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
    See the pkg-config man page for more details.


    I am getting this while trying to install Alian Arena. I'm still new to Ubuntu and have tried searching here and on google and couldn't find anything so forgive me if this is a nooby question which has been answered before. I am btw running Ubuntu 11.04

    Do you have a specific reason for not installing it from the repos?

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install alien-arena
    If you want to compile it, I believe you can get past that error message by installing libx11-dev.

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install libx11-dev

    There are 10 kinds of people in this world: Those who understand ternary, those who don't, and those who confuse it with binary.

    Thanks it worked, and I prefer downloading larger files such as this game mainly due to being a Windows user for so long, downloading and then installing is what I'm used to
