Installing Yakuake From Source
Well, I find that Yakuake is a very nifty program and I really enjoy it. I had it before I formatted my hard drive Well, now I'm trying to install it from source again and I keep getting this error when I run ./configure.

checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!

I was wondering how I would fix this problem. Thank you.

Jeff

Hi,
please try this

(found this at another site, and could not test)
Code:
sudo apt-get install x-window-system-dev
This just installs the dev files of your X

(if that doesn't work, try this)
Code:
sudo apt-get install libX11-dev
