[9fans] 9vx - prerequisites

[Lucio De Re]

I'm not familiar enough with Linux and APT to figure this one out:
what are the prerequisites for 9vx that are not intrinsically met by a
standard UBUNTU installation? The immediate need is related in some
way to x11-draw, but that is not the name of an apt package.

The packages usually missing are at least:
libx11-dev libxt-dev libxext-dev

You may wish to install the apt-file package, then you could do
apt-file search x11-draw in order to know which package provides it.

Now, that's a piece of useful information, thank you. APT is so
unhelpful regarding trying to get any information out of it.

In addition to what has been already said, if you need virtual
ethernet devices you will need libpcap-dev in order to build 9vx with
pcap support.

Plz do try the http://werc.homelinux.net/hacks/nano9/ as well. I'm sure
it will definitely save your time.
