Kubuntu 5.10 compiling problems

    I downloaded and installed Kubuntu 5.10 on my Laptop. Works nicely, everything except Wireless works.

    I am trying to compile a program called "KSmoothDock" which is a launcher for KDE. At first, I got messages, that no compiler was installed etc. I did this, so the messages were gone.

    When I try to configure KSmoothDock or anything else that comes in source code, and I run ./configure, I get this message:
    checking for X... configure error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!

    According to the package manager, the development packages are installed. However, I couldn't find include files in /usr/X11R6/lib or the other folders.

    Does anyone know this?

    Cheers guys

    try looking for a prebuilt rpm or deb file, thats much easier.

    edit

    ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/sourceforge/k/ks/ksmoothdock/ksmoothdock-3.5.1-1.0.i386.rpm

    theres one, go

    alien ksmoothdock-3.5.1-1.0.i386.rpm
    sudo dpkg -i ksmoothdock*.deb

    I tried looking for them all, but it all didn't work. I got fed up with Kubuntu now.

    Now I have installed Mandriva LE 2005 on my PowerBook G4, and I'm happy with that. It compiles programs without problems.
