Well, build-essential is a rather short list of packages, which you probably already have ... + the Registered: Jan 2008 dependencies .. Location: Copenhagen, DK which are : Distribution: pclos2010.12, Slack13.1 Deb Squeeze +40+ sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev g++ libc6-dev make LQ 5k Club

'dpkg-dev' is not important, just mentioned as part of what you get with 'build-essential'. But 'libx11-dev' is a must. ( And so are libxmu-dev libxmu-headers libxt-dev libtool ). May be have a look in (Menu) System > Administration > Software Sources ... and tick the entries in 'Ubuntu Software', 'Updates', 'Third-Party Software' ( source code isn't needed.)
