Everytime I try to compile anything it errors out saying I need the X libs and headers. WTF? I'm running X, and I went through all the install packages on the CD and installed everything I could find that has X on it. Why am I having such a problem???

apparently I need a file called libX11 .. Anyone know where that is? I did a find on my entire drive and it's no where to be seen..

If you can use RPMs, you can do a search in rpm repository with library name. Search here. (http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libX11) It seems to be part of kde-libs, wine and Xfree86-libs. So pick one of those that you might use. If you can't use RPMs, then you need to search the file somewhere else.

Xlibs error, it means that you don't have the pakadge Xdevel installed, it's a devolpment pakadge, you must install the xdevel, for when you are compiling a program that uses Xlibs he finds the Xheaders and libs
