X Windows Library and Header files???

[digitalzero]

I just installed XF86 4.1.0 and I'm trying to install a Windows Manager. But when I do the configure it says I need the X Windows Library and Header files? I installed xf86 from tarballs.. where can I get the library files and header files? thanks!

have you tried ./configure --libdir=DIR --includedir=DIR ?
DIR is the path where you unzip the XFree86

I haven't tried instrall XFrre from tar gz though. I always use package, it's much easier and faster :)

The library and header files are in the Xprog.tgz tarball. It is one of the 'optional' packages according to the documentation. Check the documentation at the Xfree86 homepage for instructions on installing the optional parts of X after the initial install.
