[Caml-list] configuration errors under linux

Hello ML,

I try to compile ocaml-3.06 and I get an error when I type ./configure!

My linux box won’t find the library labltk! But where can I find that
library?

Here is I part of my ./configure output:

Threads library supported (using bytecode-level scheduling).
X11 not found, the "graph" library will not be supported.
NDBM not found, the "dbm" library will not be supported.
Configuring LablTk...
X11 not found.
Configuration failed, LablTk will not be built.

The message may be confusing: labltk is included in the distribution,
but since some requirements could not be fulfilled it cannot be
compiled.
Note that you can perfectly use ocaml without tk support, only
camltk/labltk will be unavailable, and ocamlbrowser too.

Here is the real answer: X11 was not found.
I have no idea where is your X11, but it is probably not in a standard
place.  See INSTALL for options to explicitly tell configure where to
look for X11 headers/libraries.

Not found is innapropriate. This should be "will not be compiled".
