Author installing BlackBox

Hi ,


I have a problem while installing blackbox 0.62.1 . I unzip the
directory in my /usr/local and from it I do ./configure but I get the
following error message at the end :
"
checking for t_open in -lnsl....no
checking for socket in -lnsocket...no
checking for X...no
configure: error: Blackbox requires the X WIndow System librairies and
headers.

"

Do I have to specify anything special on my env file?
Do I need to install any particular librairies that I haven't installed
with my SUSe8.0 distribution?

Thx,



K.

First thing I would do is see if someone else has already made a SuSe
rpm for black box. If you can't find a "blackbox rpm suse" match on
google or one of the suse package sites then I would make sure you do
a "./configure --help" and see if there is a option to tell configure
where the X libs its looking for are.

have you tried something like
../configure --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include
