I am trying to compile Open Motif 2.3 on my ubuntu 7.04 system (using sudo), but during make and make install I always get the following error message:

Compiling Error
You need to install X Window header files.

installing header files
Could you please tell me, how do you install these header files? I'm working on an Ubuntu system, and I've installed every *.deb file on the DVD that has anything to do with X11 as far as I know, but I'm still missing header files.

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with Ubuntu, but is this system has devel packages, please install X Window's devel packages

Synaptic package manager
Thank you so much for your reply Yuriy! I was actually having a big headache trying to resolve package dependencies, but the problem was that for some reason my Ubuntu installation at work didn't include the synaptic package manager in the System | Administration menu.
Anyways, I reinstalled Ubuntu on a different machine at home, which is where I discovered the existence of synaptic, and was delighted to find out that it resolves all the dependencies for you by automatically downloading them from the web!
Thankfully, after I learned about synaptic at home I was able to start it at work using the command gnome-app-install. The more I use Ubuntu the more I like it over other distros!
:D
BTW, jflowers, I've also tried to install openmotif from source, but was never successful. Eventually I found the appropriate packages for version 2.2.3 on http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/source/openmotif that you may want to try to install instead.
