maybe this info could help you: While the output of the "configure"-script always complaints simply about missing packages, most of the cases it's just the corresponding devel-package that is missing, since most distro divides packages into the program package you need to run the prog and a package with headers you need for developing (and thus compiling). So make sure, you have all devel-packages of the "missing" things installed. HTH and cheers Claudius
