[Xastir] Xastir ./configure setup

[kc7zru]

Tyler,

You need to install the X development packages for your system. These 
are the headers and other files (libraries) other programs use to 
compile against X. Not just the binaries you already have installed to 
run X. If you were to install a precompiled, binary of Xastir - you 
wouldn't need the development packages. But, since you're compiling from 
source, the compilers need other information to 'play nice' with your 
existing system.

You may well run into more development packages that are needed before 
you get a successful compile.

I don't use Ubuntu and don't know how their package management works, 
but on Fedora, you'd run (as root or use sudo):
yum groupinstall "X Software Development" <enter>

I'm sure Ubuntu has something similar.
A quick google yields this:
https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/package-management.html
At the least, that should get you on the right track.

73, Tate
