Hi folks,

here's a shot in the dark, since I don't know if this was happening before I installed the Nvidia drivers or not. I've tried to install a couple of Samba management utilities (Kconfigure and KSambaPlubin to be specific) from source. In both cases when I run ./configure, it will happily chug along for a little while, but both have died with the messgae:

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

Is this something that installing the Nvidia drivers might have modified, or am I just being stupid? What is required here to get these babies to configure properly? I notice that both of these seem to use a common (if perhaps modified) shell script, which will take some command line parameters. I've tried:
./configure --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib but no joy. Does anybody have any hot little nuggets for me? Thanks very much...

Hi,

kconfigure requires a lot of libx files. may be that some of them are not installed yet. If you use kconfigure......rpm it will announce the missing dependencies to you.

Install XFree86-devel.
