X11 error

[Northender]

Hi Guys

As an artist I am trying to install the driver for the space navigator by following these instructions: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/free-cad/index.php?title=3Dconnexion_input_devices

on line 2 I get the following:


gcc -pedantic -Wall -g -O3 -fno-strict-aliasing -I./src -c src/client.c -o src/client.o
In file included from src/client.c:22:0:
src/client.h:25:22: fatal error: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [src/client.o] Error 1

Can anyone help? And pretty please, my knowledge of the terminal is on a par with my dog

Is there a reason you are not using the official release? I take it you are using Ubuntu? If so:

sudo apt-get install spacenavd

O.k. I did that. Flippen thing still won't work though...

It's back to work tomorrow on Inventor and Win7. I just wanted to mess around a bit at home.

Shot for the quick response MyWorld.

Please include all the information you can provide (distribution + version, all terminal output, etc), this will help us help you.

Did you reboot the system after issuing the command?
