Dear Fellows, I tried to install Gtk+ on my ubuntu 7.10. When I issued the command ./configure, It generated the error "X could not found" and exited. Please tell me what is x and how and where from it binaries can be downloaded.? Thankful
Lot of software needs the graphical x-window environment to interface with the user : http://www.xfree86.org/
No Graphics I installed from xfree86.org but after installation there was no graphics. I followed the instructions in the docs but no response. please help...
apt-get install kdm or xdm or gdm my favorite is xdm I cant tel you why bcs I said it on another site and they wrote me up?! (well the other site is a bit paranoid) ;-) lol good luck! Oh BTW, let me save you a couple of posts; 1- once you install X it will come up automatically to stop it from coming up at the boot up or 2- if you like the terminal better (like the pros) you can either do a control-alt-backspace (to exit the X) or ctrl-alt F1, F2 up to F6 and get back into the terminal TTY/(command line CL) and then ctrl-alt F7 to get back in X- windows, Or use this command to stop it from coming up all together; update-rc.d -f gdm remove (or kdm or xdm) if you want to put it back where it boots into X (GUI) again, then; update-rc.d -f gdm defaults (or kdm..)
