[Novalug] Debian equivalence......X11

[DonJr]

For /usr/include/X11/{Xos.h|Xutil.h} the packages to install are called:
  $ sudo apt-get install x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev
or
  $ wajig install libx11-dev x11proto-core-dev

x11proto-core-dev -- X11 core wire protocol and auxiliary headers
                      provides /usr/include/X11/Xos.h

libx11-dev        -- X11 client-side library (development headers)
                      provides /usr/include/X11/Xutil.h
                      (one of it's depends is x11proto-core-dev)

Once I figured out what to search for
  ( the reference to "x11-compat" through me for a lost at first )
I did:
  wajig whichpkg Xos.h
and
  wajig whichpkg Xutil.h


So if you like(prefer) working at the command-line, I highly recommend
installing "wajig"  and most(all) of the packages that it suggest.
