[ncl-install] Problem about installing X11

[linzhenhua]

The development library packages for redhat distributions for generally suffixed with "devel", while "dev" for ubuntu distributions.
The package name on my computer (fedora 12) is libX11-devel. If you install the OS yourself, you can find this package on your install DVD. Or you can search this package online. The package with the same name from Scientific and Centos distributions can also be used for redhat.

Dear Miao,


I don't know much about RedHat, but the error you're getting seems to indicate you need to register.  Try googling this message, and you will see some suggestions, one of which is to run:


   rhn_register

Dear NCL developers,
 
I’m trying to install NCL-6.0.0 on Red Hat Linux 5.3. When I installed X11 developer libraries and include files, none of the four commands which are supplied by the INSTALL file can be used. The commands I’ve tried are
sudo apt-get install x11-dev
sudo apt-get install xorg-dev
sudo apt-get install libx11-dev
yum install libx11-devel
 
The computer suggests that
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
This system is not registered with RHN.
RHN support will be disabled.
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
No package libx11-devel available.
Nothing to do
 
Is that means that I should pay for it? I searched on the web to find out if I can install X11 in another way, finding that I was still not sure about the solutions.
Please help give me some suggestions to solve this problem. Thanks a lot.
 
Best,
Miao
