I'm having a problem with the 'make' now...

Making all in .

fontproto.h: No such file or directory

when I was having these, I looked on http://packages.ubuntu.com
you can search for files inside a package.

This one, I believe is in x11proto-fonts-dev

I'll attach a file that contains a list of deps for --enable-xglserver
I made it on a clean install, but running inside VMware, so there was no glx. So you may need a couple more deps than those in the list...

[Rob2687]

Yeah, I have all the x11proto* installed and the ones in the file you attached but it made no difference.

[Azriphale]

you definitely got all the x11proto* packages with -dev on the end?

output from packages.ubuntu.com

FILE
usr/include/X11/fonts/fontproto.h

PACKAGE
x11/x11proto-fonts-dev

make sure you install the development packages.

also try installing libxfont-dev

edit:
Three more _possible_ deps, but they are not the ones giving you that error, I am sure.
x11proto-gl-dev
x11proto-trap-dev
x11proto-xinerama-dev

[Rob2687]

Yeah, I have all that installed. I even tried the dapper x11proto-fonts-dev but it's still the same.

[Azriphale]

run this in the terminal:

$ sudo find / -name fontproto.h

Does it come up with "/usr/include/X11/fonts/fontproto.h"?

also, have you got this installed?
libfreetype6-dev

[Azriphale]

I just removed a package and its refusing to install again.

All I can suggest trying now is the guide over here:
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost...&postcount=385
it takes a while tho, it recompiles a whole lot of the X components.

I need to get some sleep too, its almost 1 in the morning now...

[Rob2687]

Yes and yes...

[Azriphale]

are you running configure with the flag --prefix=/some/path ?
If you are, you will need to compile and install xfont before xserver. If you are not, it should, I think, be working... the searching for missing files on packages.ubuntu.com worked for me....

[Azriphale]

try running configure with --prefix=/usr

I'll stick around for a few more minutes

Edit:
I hope that works for you, because now it is time for me to leave...
