Unable to install Calchep

just to add, I checked with a super old version: 3.4.3 and I see the following message which prevents me from showing the interface (although it does not complain about the X11)

make[1]: *** [Makefile:29: ../../bin/lhe2tab] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/basabendu/hep_tools/calchep_3.4.3/c_source/tab'
make: *** [Makefile:37: COMPILE] Error 2

Thank you.

Do you have libX11.so    or   libX11.so.6  file in your computer?

Expected disposition /usr/lib64/libX11.so

No, /usr/lib64 does not show the presence of libX11.

But

   ls  /usr/*/libX11.so.*

I see folowing:

ls /usr/

---> bin/ games/ include/ lib/ lib32/ lib64/ libexec/ libx32/ local/ sbin/ share/ src/

Hello,
could you please tell us, how did you install libx11-dev on your 22.04 LTS?

Did you follow the instructions at
https://installati.one/ubuntu/22.04/libx11-dev/

Once libx11-dev is installed you should be able to locate Xlib.h

just type

locate Xlib.h

and tell us where Xlib.h is located.

Looking forward to your reply.

Regards
Alexander

Hi,

I have already installed libx11-dev, as I can see the following message:

'libx11-dev is already the newest version (2:1.7.5-1).'

The locate command shows following:

'/usr/include/X11/Xlib.h'

Yes,  CalcHEP can  not find file  libX11.so.*

Please, check its existence on your computer

ls /usr/*/libX11.so.*

Please check

|/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so.*|

|ibx11-dev   has to put it in this place:

Thanks,

please also type

locate libX11.so

and let us know the output of this command

Thank you
Alexander

Hi,

locate libX11.so provides following:

/snap/gnome-3-38-2004/112/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so
/snap/gnome-3-38-2004/112/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6
/snap/gnome-3-38-2004/112/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6.3.0
/snap/snap-store/582/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6
/snap/snap-store/582/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6.3.0
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6.4.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6.4.0

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lib shows no libX11.so

Thanks Alexander Pukhov, that solved my question.
