Okay, okay, I give in.
I have downloaded Kdevelop 3.4.0. I have uncompressed the file and
'cd'ed to the Kdevelop-3.4.0 directory and typed './configure', the
configuration script started and then I got this error message form
it:
----
checking for snprintf... yes
checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please
check your installation and add the correct paths!
----
aaaannd, I have no idea how to go about this problem, any body?

Thanks folks!

You probably should install the build dependencies for kdevelop first:

apt-get build-dep kdevelop

Quick query: Why download/compile instead of just installing from the
repos?

aptitude install kdevelop

That should do the trick...

Install (I think) the following:

libx11-dev -or- xdev

Better yet, uninstall your source build and install the kdevelop3
package instead.

In general, if you are building something from source, not only do you
need to have the libraries it depends on installed, but also the
corresponding lib.*-dev package (to get the header files you need).
