Hi guys,

I'm trying to build rdesktop ver 1.4.1 on my new Kbuntu setup.* :)

When I run configure, I've encountered the following error:* :o
checking for X... no*

Based on my search via google, other OS are suggesting the absence of X due to the missing "XFree86-devel-<version-number>".

Ubuntu/Debian seems to be moving away from XFree86 to X.org
I'm confused* ??? on the package that I should install since XFree86 is pointing to ver 4.3 while X.org is pointing to version 6.8* :-\

I can locate the packages on Debian.org, but is that the place I should be looking at for the x-devel packages?

Does anyone know which package to use for Ubuntu 5.1?
;D
Any suggestions are welcomed & appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help...
:)

Rgds,
Dennis
