Re: configure errors
Hello,
whenever you want to compile software on Debian and derivatives like Ubuntu, you need to install the *-dev companion packages.
If you spot the exact file used for the check, you can then run dpkg -S filename to see what packages provide it; you can also install dlocate to get search results faster (dlocate filename)
On a side note: you mentioned using configure, but the current recommended way is via CMake, as you can read here:
