Configuration error when installing R on Linux [closed]

Question

Steps to install:

1. ./configure --enable-R-shlib

I get this error:

 configure: error: --with-x=yes (default) and X11 headers/libs are not available

in config.log file I see this entry:

 #define X_DISPLAY_MISSING 1

any ideas?

Try either passing --with-x=no to the configure script, or install the X devel package for your linux flavour.
