[senorsmile]

I tried going down to v 1.30.0, with the same error.

I tried checking out x11 directly: https://github.com/erlepereira/x11-rs

it seems to build just fine. I'm not sure what's going on here.

[jD91mZM2]

Do you have x11 installed? What version? When you tried checking x11-rs out locally, was it version v2.18.1 exactly?

[senorsmile]

I do have x11 installed. I'm running standard ubuntu 18.04, which comes with gnome 3 (which depends on x11).

I tried installing both via:

• cargo install x11-rs
• git checkout

The version in git is slightly newer than the v2.18.1 commit. 2.18.1 is this commit: https://github.com/erlepereira/x11-rs/commit/d49f4a4c06b6fca6f16dc851a5dd513f5b5e04ba

I checked out that commit and it built fine as well.

[senorsmile]

I may not have tried to rebuild xidlehook after I did cargo install x11, because it's now building just fine; both in development and release modes. I'm not sure if there's still an issue here. I may try to spin up a vagrant machine on ubuntu 18.04 to reproduce.

[jD91mZM2]

cargo install x11 should definitely not make a difference, only if you did something like sudo apt install x11-dev or whatever the package is called on Ubuntu.

I'm getting the same error on fedora 29 xfce, libX11-devel is installed

[mietzen]

I could resolve this by installing: libXScrnSaver-devel

[jD91mZM2]

Perhaps these libs should be adressed by the README

[Drudoo]

On Debian it is fixed using sudo apt-get install libxss-dev
