I am trying to compile Neuron 5.9 in UBUNTU.
When I try to ./configure interviews I get the error :
configure: error: cannot find X11
Ideas ?

Can you compile any source code of anything at all? If not, you probably need the complete
"software developement tools" (which may be called something else by your distribution).
Otherwise, maybe all you need is the X11 development package. Read your distribution's
documentation and follow its instructions.

yes, I have been able to compile source code for other programs, and I've installed some packages not in my original Kubuntu 6.10 dist for X11, such as libx11-dev, but it doesn't seem to help. When I try to ./configure Interview I get
....
checking sys/conf.h usability... no
checking sys/conf.h presence... no
checking for sys/conf.h... no
checking for X... no
configure: error: cannot find X11
...
Is there a list somewhere over what packages for X11 are needed for installation, or could it be that links are not set up properly?
thanks in advance,
Henrik

try
sudo apt-get install gnome-devel
(if you use gnome. with kde: kde-devel).
If this doesn't help use as well:
sudo apt-get install x-dev
That should work!
happy hacking,

I recently ran into the same problems in Ubuntu (feisty). Although I thought I had installed every single x-development package under the sun (including those mentioned in this thread), config.log still said:PhilippRautenberg wrote: sudo apt-get install gnome-devel
