Make sure x11 dev packages are installed

Thank you, @mfisher31 -- all already installed--but I still get this error!

[mfisher31]

Re-opened, but I'm not sure what to say. I also use this OS on some machines and never get X11 missing problems.

meson saying dependency "x11" not found means it can't find the x11.pc file:

https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=x11.pc&mode=exactfilename&suite=jammy&arch=any

This shows that x11-dev is the package that provides it...

@mfisher31 noted, I searched for x11.pc and I did find it in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/x11.pc not sure if this is a meson problem. Will continue checking (used /usr/lib $ find -name "x11.pc")

[mfisher31]

interesting pkg-config can't find it. Maybe the env variable has been tampered with? https://askubuntu.com/questions/210210/pkg-config-path-environment-variable

[SonnyRajagopalan]

You are right!!

My PKG_CONFIG_PATH was seriously messed up. Eventually figured out that I need to add the env for all *.pc and that fixed the meson build. Here's hoping the rest of the install is smooth. Please close this ticket, and thank you for your patience.

No problem!
