R: Remote installation problem for 3.2.4 on Ubuntu 8.04

[Riccardo Corradini]

Kanny
I tried this procedure on Ubuntu Karmic 9.10
sudo apt-get install apt-file
sudo apt-file cache
sudo apt-file search X11/Xlib.h
ivtools-dev: /usr/include/IV-X11/Xlib.h
libghc6-x11-dev: /usr/lib/haskell-packages/ghc6/lib/X11-1.4.5/ghc-6.10.4/Graphics/X11/Xlib.hi
libhugs-x11-bundled: /usr/lib/hugs/packages/X11/Graphics/X11/Xlib.hs
libroot5.18: /usr/lib/root/5.18/cint/include/X11/Xlib.h
libx11-dev: /usr/include/X11/Xlib.h
So try to install
sudo apt-get install libx11-dev
and see what happens
Bests

I am trying to install Octave 3.2.4 on Ubuntu 8.04 remotely using ssh.
Using apt-get install octave3.0, it installs fine, but i need sparse 
functions from 3.2.3 or 3.2.4, so the problem.

First it needed fortran, so i installed gfortran using apt-get. Now it 
compiles for a good time and then gives error related to display:

g++ -c  -fPIC -I. -I.. -I../liboctave -I../src -I../libcruft/misc  -
DHAVE_CONFIG_H -mieee-fp -Wall -W -Wshadow -Wold-style-cast -Wformat -
g -O2 -pthread display.cc -o pic/display.o
display.cc:34:22: error: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory
display.cc: In member function ‘void display_info::init(bool)’:
display.cc:98: error: ‘Display’ was not declared in this scope
display.cc:98: error: ‘display’ was not declared in this scope
display.cc:98: error: ‘XOpenDisplay’ was not declared in this scope
display.cc:102: error: ‘Screen’ was not declared in this scope
display.cc:102: error: ‘screen’ was not declared in this scope
display.cc:102: error: ‘DefaultScreenOfDisplay’ was not declared in 
this scope
display.cc:106: error: ‘DefaultDepthOfScreen’ was not declared in this 
scope
display.cc:108: error: ‘HeightOfScreen’ was not declared in this scope
display.cc:109: error: ‘WidthOfScreen’ was not declared in this scope
display.cc:111: error: ‘XScreenNumberOfScreen’ was not declared in 
this scope
display.cc:113: error: ‘DisplayHeightMM’ was not declared in this scope
display.cc:114: error: ‘DisplayWidthMM’ was not declared in this scope
make[2]: *** [pic/display.o] Error 1

I tried to install build-dep (octave3.0), but get the error from apt-
get to include some sources. Does anyone know which sources I should 
include in /etc/apt/sources.list for octave build-dep ? Even better 
would have been a source for binary like apt-get install octave3.2.4 ?

I do not plan to use graphics/plotting functionalities, so is there a 
way to resolve this problem alternately? I tried with --without-x but 
the same error is resulted.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
