How do I install X11 development package?

[BrillianceLin]

As topic, I have trouble with compiling brlcad as this thread.
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=249899

I assume the last problem I encounter was lack of development package in the system. Hence, I tried "yum install Xorg-devel" and the terminal reply"No package xorg-x11-devel available."

So, can any one offer some help?

Try:
su
yum groupinstall "X Software Development"

Thanks for the reply, the command helped. The installation of development package seems like solved the x.org problem.
But there is another problem surface.
This is the terminal feed back.
/usr/bin/ar: .libs/librt_nil.a: Error reading .libs/bezier_2d_isect.o: Input/output error
make[2]: *** [librt_nil.la] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/Lin/Documents/brlcad-7.16.10/src/librt'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/Lin/Documents/brlcad-7.16.10/src'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

Is there some other package missing?

That doesn't look like a missing library, but one that may have been created in
an earlier failed compile.

Try a "make clean" or perhaps a "make allclean", and try again.

The error is from reading a local library being built or already made that has an
internal error. I've seen this when building a Kerberos kit when something
aborts the build. Usually the make clean will delete the file, and all object files
that may contribute to the problem.

You can also just try deleting the library and just run "make" again. Sometimes
this can fix such problems.

It points to a possible error in the/a makefile specification (as in the library didn't
get rebuilt when it should have).

Thanks for the reply, however I had tried to clean the make or even delete the whole directory from config to make, and it still does not work.... but thanks anyway.

One last note: The filenames shown begin with a ".", These are hidden
files (in this case .libs), so it may depend on how you deleted the whole
directory. If you did a "rm -rf *" then the .libs directory would not have been
removed.

Oops... I just delete the source directory... but if the whole compiling process started from the beginning, the new file will overwrite this one right?

It should, unless there is an error in the makefile that misses that dependency.

Most such directories are not hidden - that is one reason this may be
an error.

Oh well.... I think I have to tried after the later version come out.... Thanks anyway....
