181    * GNU/Linux development packages
182    
183    Many GNU/Linux systems do not come with development packages by
184    default; they just include the files that you need to run Emacs, but
185    not those you need to compile it.  For example, to compile Emacs with
186    X11 support, you may need to install the special `X11 development'
187    package.  For example, in April 2003, the package names to install
188    were `XFree86-devel' and `Xaw3d-devel' on RedHat.  On Debian, the
189    packages necessary to build the installed version should be
190    sufficient; they can be installed using `apt-get build-dep emacs21' in
191    Debian 3 and above.
