installing libX11.a, libX11.so and Xlib.h

  • 772

I installed libx11-dev with following command;

sudo apt-get install libx11-dev

I need libX11.a, libX11.so and Xlib.h files. When I searched these files I couldn't locate them. I need to install libX11.a into /usr/lib/X11, libX11.so into /usr/lib/X11 and Xlib.h into /usr/include/X11.

How can I install these files?

system-installation

    Use apt-file search [filename] to determine the package that provides these files, as well as their location.

    libX11.a:

    libx11-dev: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.a

    libX11.so:

    libx11-dev: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so

    Xlib.h:

    libx11-dev: /usr/include/X11/Xlib.h

    So yes, you ought to have them already.
