    fatal error: X11/Xlib.h:

    hi. i am using ubuntu 12.04 and trying to install NS2.35
    for that matter i downloaded ns-allinone-2.35, unzipped it, started installation, the installation went well until it gave an error message and stopped. the error message is as follows:

    : fatal error: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory
    compilation terminated.
    make: *** [tk3d.o] Error 1
    tk8.5.10 make failed! Exiting ...

    I'm pretty sure that I do have Xlib.h at the right place. i also tried to do this 'sudo apt-get install libx11-dev' but it returned me the following:

    "Package libx11-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
    This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
    is only available from another source

    E: Package 'libx11-dev' has no installation candidate

    "


    in desperate search to an immediate solution.

    Re: fatal error: X11/Xlib.h:

    Is this what you are looking for?:

    https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/amd64/libx11-6

    If that's not it then just do a search for libx11 or x11 in your package manager.

    one more thing is that while doing 'sudo apt-get update' it gives me the failure installing packages of X because of unreachable site, it gives me Err http://linux.ntuoss.org precise/universe amd64 Packages

    @dodo3773! may be what you suggested is the right place from where i can get amd updation, but i really have no idea about how to do it. need help


    keeping in mind that m using 64bit machine.

    Re: fatal error: X11/Xlib.h:

    Go into your package manager to install the packages you need. Should be called "Software Center" or something similar. Search for it.

    Check the file permissions and the ownership.
    Code:
    namei -l /home/msit123/ns-allinone-2.35/lib
    PS.
    Please start your own thread. Your problem has nothing to do with that of the OP.
