Where can I find devel packages for ubuntu 12.04

[kjartani]

Hello.

Im running Ubuntu 12.04 lts.
To be able to compile a program I must install some devel packages.
The devel packages I need are: x11, x11-proto, xinput and gnu gsl.

Anybody who knows where to find these?

Regards

usually you can find everything in the Ubuntu software repositories but under a different name usually begining with libsomething if it is a library not application.
install synaptic package manager its better than ubuntu software center to check and find whats in the repos

You can either use Synaptic package manager to search for them or use http://packages.ubuntu.com

By the looks of things two of the packages you need are:

x11proto-core-dev
libgsl0-dev

I'll leave you to find the others.

If the source code is in the repositories, then you can use apt-get to install the build dependencies:

sudo apt-get build-dep pkgname
