Hi, Thanks for the info. I will attempt to install the software you mentioned. I have no broadband connection. I usually go to me local library and download the required packages. It is time consuming. I would like to install nvu, inkscape and scribus for starters. Some of those apps only seem to be available from source. I successully installed the lamp software and now have a web server configued. I installed drupal and plone and I would like to familiarize myself with them by create web sites. The dependencies are the real problem. I know of no way of quickly downloading all required dependencies for a package. If you have broadband then you take the download of the dependencies for granted. THanks.

Yes, it'll be the development headers for X. In Ubuntu, try installing the following. xlibs-dev libx11-dev kdebase-dev I'm sure it'll be xlibs-dev that provides what you need. The configure script won't tell you what packages you need, as it's just a generic source tarball. It isn't tailored to your particular distribution, and thus can only provide generic error messages. Is there any reason that you can't install the software from the package archives? What's the name of the software and why do you need to compile it from scratch? The average (new-to-Linux) Ubuntu user isn't going to be wanting to compile software, but instead should rely on the vast collection of software available in the package repositories.
