Installing Quickstarter problem

[satimis]

Hi folk,

RH9.0
=====

I encountered problem in installing oooqs-2.0.2 as follows;

untar oooqs-2.0.2.tar.gz
# cd /home/satimis/Download/Quickstart/oooqs-2.0.2
# ./configure
......
checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!

# make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

I tried several times with the same result.

Kindly advise how to check which dependencies needed and which packages have to be installed to render that dependenices

Thanks in advance.

You'll need some of the 'development' packages - look for anything to do with X with devel in the RPM name.

Also, you'll need some of the GNU C stuff - gcc, make, and stuff like that.

Should all be on your distro CDs

Hi,

Thanks for your advice.

I have RH9 CDs in front of me but could not ascertain which packages are necessary. Tarball is not like RPM. For RPM packages with

rpm -ivh --test package

I can find out the dependencies and packages needed. It there a similar test for tarball.

Thanks

Well, kinda. The ./configure in each tarball will test for all dependencies. In your case it has not found the X library headers, hence the suggestion that you install the -devel packages, which are quite often not installed by default.

./configure will go through and check that you have all the necessary dependencies, and will halt if you don't have them.

Is it the error coming from "confdefs.h."?
How to get it rectified.
