Running <code>./configure -macAccelerate clang</code> gave me an error that it could not find X11 libraries, even though <code>locate libXt</code> showed that my installation was correct.</p><p>Error:</p><pre><code><div class="highlight"><span></span>Could not find the X11 libraries<span class="p">;</span> you may need to edit config.h
   to <span class="nb">set</span> the XHOME and XLIBS variables.
Error: The X11 libraries are not in the usual location !
       To search <span class="k">for</span> them try the command: locate libXt
       On new Fedora OS<span class="s1">&#39;s install the libXt-devel libXext-devel</span>
<span class="s1">       libX11-devel libICE-devel libSM-devel packages.</span>
<span class="s1">       On old Fedora OS&#39;</span>s install the xorg-x11-devel package.
       On RedHat OS<span class="s1">&#39;s install the XFree86-devel package.</span>
<span class="s1">       On Ubuntu OS&#39;</span>s install the xorg-dev and xserver-xorg packages.

          ...more info <span class="k">for</span> various linuxes at ambermd.org/ubuntu.html

       To build Amber without XLEaP, re-run configure with <span class="err">&#39;</span>-noX11:
            ./configure -noX11 --with-python /usr/local/bin/python3 -macAccelerate clang
Configure failed due to the errors above!

Sadly, there was not even a single thread which had a solution about this error.</p><h2>The Fix</h2><p>Simply reinstalling XQuartz using homebrew fixed the error <code>brew cask reinstall xquartz</code></p><p>If you do not have XQuartz installed, you need to run <code>brew cask install xquartz</code></p></div><span>Tagged with: </span><ul class="tag-list"><li><a href="/tags/moleculardynamics">Molecular-Dynamics</a></li><li><a href="/tags/macos">macOS</a></li></ul></article></div><footer><p>Made with ❤️ using <a href="https://github.com/johnsundell/publish">Publish</a></p><p><a href="/feed.rss">RSS feed</a></p></footer></body></html>
