Hi, i'd like to install R 2.5 on an Ubuntu 14.04. I have a special software requiring this old version. While ./configure, i get the following error: checking for mbstate_t... yes checking for X... no configure: error: --with-x=yes (default) and X11 headers/libs are not available The problem is that i don't know which headers or libraries are missing, and when i search with aptitude in the Ubuntu repositories i find a ton of them and don't know which one to install. Can anyone help me ? Thanks.
