Hello,
I just switched from a source based distrobution to try Ubuntu. The transition was excellent. The only issue I'm having with binary based distrobutions is that none of the -dev packages get installed which makes things difficult to compile yourself. Normally this is relatively easy to overcome, but I think I need assistance this time.
I'm trying to build Gossip manually so that I can apply my personal patches to it (this is why I'm not using apt for it). Now I've never had issues before compiling Gossip, but now on Hoary, I get a configure error, the relevent snippet is below:
... lots of successful checks etc ...
checking for XScreenSaverRegister in -lXext... no
checking for XScreenSaverRegister in -lXss... yes
configure: error: Couldn't find XScreenSaver extension.
make: *** [config.status] Error 1
Then obviously it dies. My riddle to the forum crowd is, what package to I need to install to fill the XScreenSaver extension requirement? I'm at a loss...
Thanks,
~djc
