I've just installed the X Window System in my computer, from the X.org source. How can I add the apt-get package? How can I find and install all the dependencies (packages) to make it work?

Um, what distro are you using? Debian, ubuntu, mepis, already have apt-get install.
Don't have any yet. I'm working with a primitive X terminal that comes with Xorg.
But that is running on an operating system.Quote:

what distro are you working with not just the Linux kernel. sometimes if you dont know it can be found in /etc/issue but this is not always the case for all distros but it may work on yours.
ps type as root apt-get in the command line you might see that it is already installed if you are using a debian based distro. if not you have package managers that dont require you to install apt-get.
You need to be running a distro!!! Sometime uname -a can give us a clue
Doing uname -a from my shell I get:
Linux (none) 2.6.16.18 #1 Fri Feb 9 17:11:10 CET 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
Is there any alternative to apt-get that I can install easily? The idea is to install a package manager and then to add other applications compiling and building from source (KDE, etc.).
we are telling you that if its debian based apt-get is installed by default.
apt-get is best package manager. you dont need any other package manager.Quote:
