Install Package Problem

[Janet]

I am your basic newbie. The package I was trying to install stopped installing said it couldnt find X redo the path. So here below is some info from the install file. I assume it mean that I must do the ./configure--x- (then what ??) How do I lay this out ?? My attempts so far have failed.

"For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually
find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't, you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and`--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations.

If the configure script can't find your "X" include files (these are files that help the compiler to incorporate X library routines into the software you are attempting to build), it is pretty likely they are not installed. Look to use your distribution's package manager to install a package called something along the lines of "xfree86-devel" or "x-development".
