Installing Chez Scheme 9.4 on Linux Mint LMDE


I am trying to install Chez Scheme 9.4 on a Linux Mint LMDE system. Chez Scheme requires GNU make, gcc, header files and libraries for ncurses, and header files and libraries for X windows.

I successfully installed ncurses with the command sudo apt-get install ncurses-dev, and I have a directory /etc/X11 with lots of stuff in it. Per the Chez Scheme BUILDING file I ran ./configure, which worked properly, then sudo make install, which failed with error X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory.

I'm not familiar with X windows. Can someone please tell me exactly what packages I need to install to have the required X windows header files and libraries?


Solution

  • I installed sudo apt-get install libx11-dev and the compile completed successfully.
