KPPP installation problem...

Hello everybody!

I'm using SuSE 9.2 and as i couldn't get wvdial to connect, i decided to use KPPP, as others suggested.The problem is that kppp wasn't installed along with kde 3.3 so i had to look it up on the net and install it...I'm new in linux so I seem to have some problems...
I tried to install kppp1.6.25 following the instructions of README and INSTALL but i couldn't...
According to INSTALL, before the installation i should run

./configure

to create the makefile...This command gave

*various checks*
...
*various checks*
checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!

Afterwards, i tried make which gave

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

and make all gave

make: *** No rule to make target `all'. Stop.

What's wrong? I think that the Makefile wasn't created correctly due to the error...What can i do??

Thanks for your help!!

First of all you should check if kppp is available as a RPM package for your distribution. On my system that package is called "kdenetwork-kppp", but SuSE might call it differently.

You probably haven't installed development packages for the Xlib.

You need a RPM package called X11-devel or XFree86-devel (or similar), but SuSE should provide kppp as RPM package too --- it will save you a lot of time, if you install kppp from it.

Try kdenetwork-dialup. There's nothing like a well named package ;)

Since you have SuSE and I guess you have DSL, just run YaST2 and click on DSL on the Network Devices menu, then configure it so it will do PPoE. Add your provider and your username/password. There, you're set.

If you have dial-up, click modem instead and do almost the same thing as above.

If you still have problems, post @ SuSE Forums
