Off topic:Installing Emboss

Question

[Lee Katz]

Has anyone installed EMBOSS on Red Hat? I'm having trouble with X11, and the installation isn't really helping:

X11 graphics have been selected but no X11 header files have been found.

This error usually happens on Linux/MacOSX distributions where the optional X11 development files have not been installed. On Linux RPM systems this package is usually called something like xorg-x11-proto-devel whereas on Debian/Ubuntu it may be called x-dev. On MacOSX installation DVDs the X11 files can usually be found as an explicitly named optional installation.

What does this mean that I have to do with X11? I think I have an X11 installation
