Windowmaker install missing X

[John Ramsay_2]

configure: error: the path for the X11 files not found!
Make sure you have X and it's headers and libraries installed.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

Just the

/usr/bin/X11 to the PATH variable

PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/X11

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/X11:/usr/lib/X11R5:/usr/lib/X11R4:/usr/lib/X11/R6

export PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

I'm a little new...Could you be a little more specific?

[T G Manikandan]

All the X11 libraries are installed on

/usr/lib/X11
/usr/lib/X11R5
/usr/lib/X11R4
/usr/lib/X11/R6

Just add the above to the library path LD_LIBRARY_PATH as stated above and then try installing the application.

Can you post the exact error messages!!

[John Ramsay_2]

should I put /usr/bin/X11 in the path file?

[John Ramsay_2]

Ok, How about this...
What do I type in the term window to add those to my path?

[T G Manikandan]

Just ignore the above .the below one should be the right one..



Just add the below dir's to LD_LIBRARY_PATH

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/X11/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/openwin/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Let's check this first and then will proceed on ..

Just type this

#LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/X11/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/openwin/lib
#export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

[John Ramsay_2]

I don't have a /usr/local/X11
the X11 dir is in /usr/lib/
This is a personal unix box hooked to a cable modem

[John Ramsay_2]

Did you give up on me?

[T G Manikandan]

Then please use
/usr/lib/X11
/usr/lib/X11R4
/usr/lib/X11R5
/usr/lib/X11R6 with your LD_LIBRARY_PATH
