Hi there!

When I'm trying to configure a program/driver, I get the following error:
X include missing or something like this

How can I solve this??

Ok, the error I get when compiling a program is:

X Windows include files missing
Kernel Version Running 2.4.21-99-default
Found Kernel Source Directory ()
grep: /.config: No such file or directory
scripts/setup.sh: line 116: [: -eq: unary operator expected

Using SuSE 9.0.

I admit, I'm a WIndows user who likes Linux a lot!!
It's running very smooth...

But....
Why are those error mesaages so damn cryptic when installing from source code???

I think a desktop user could spend a lifetime learning how to decipher error messages in Linux and still run into something that they can't figure out. I guess that's what separates the programmers from us common users..

You know what, I think you're right

Ow well, a computer and it's software and hardware is complex enough to give everyone its own interests.. programmers, common users, designers, etc etc
