[Playerstage-users] Compiling errors for player-2.0.4

[Chad G. <ch...@mg...>]

I've been trying to compile player-2.0.4 on an Ubuntu Feisty platform
and have run into the following error

I did a simple
./configure

and installed packages until it said it would install everything I wanted.

Now I get ...

make[5]: Leaving directory
`/home/cgeorge/dl-cache/player-2.0.4/server/drivers/position/lasersafe'
Making all in nav200
make[5]: Entering directory
`/home/cgeorge/dl-cache/player-2.0.4/server/drivers/position/nav200'
/bin/bash ../../../../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=link g++    -L/usr/lib
-o test_program_init  test_program_init.o libsicknav200.la  -lpthread
-lnsl -lrt  -lltdl -ldl -ljpeg -lGL
g++ -o test_program_init test_program_init.o  -L/usr/lib
./.libs/libsicknav200.a -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXext -lX11 -lpthread -lnsl
-lrt /usr/lib/libltdl.so -ldl /usr/lib/libjpeg.so /usr/lib/libGL.so
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXext
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Which seems strange since I have the library here

ls /usr/lib/libXext*
/usr/lib/libXext.so.6
/usr/lib/libXext.so.6.4.0

Thanks,
Chad
