CentOS7 emacs installation error: No X toolkit could be found

When running:



sudo ./configure



I got error:



checking for libXaw... configure: error: No X toolkit could be found.
If you are sure you want Emacs compiled without an X toolkit, pass
--with-x-toolkit=no
to configure. Otherwise, install the development libraries for the toolkit
that you want to use (e.g. Gtk+) and re-run configure.



According to this answer, I ran the following command to install X toolkit:



sudo yum install build-essential texinfo libx11-dev libxpm-dev libjpeg-dev libpng-dev libgif-dev libtiff-dev libgtk2.0-dev libncurses-dev libxpm-dev automake autoconf



However, when I run configure, I get the same error. How do I successfully resolve the dependency error and install emacs?

  • Are you sure you need to run ./configure with sudo?  What happens if you run it as yourself?

Those development packages are for the Debian/Ubuntu/Mint family which is why they end in dev.



The development packages that you are looking for are libpng-devel libtiff-devel openjpeg-devel gtk2-devel ncurses-devel giflib-devel libX11-devel libXpm-devel. The development packages end in devel for the Fedora/RHEL/CentOS family.



As you have sudo, you can also just yum install emacs which is a lot easier.
