While installing flmsg from the ports in /usr/ports/comms on a FreeBSD 12.0 RELEASE installation (which is working fine otherwise), I get a "...fatal error: 'X11/X.h file not found." The error message is as follows:
Is this file X.h simply Xlib.h renamed or copied or is it a completely different file? I could find no reference to it anywhere I searched.
I get the same error message whether attempting to install flamp or flmsg. I have run the command

Is this file X.h simply Xlib.h renamed or copied or is it a completely different file? I could find no reference to it anywhere I searched.
I get the same error message whether attempting to install flamp or flmsg. I have run the command
./Configure
before each attempt, as instructed, and Configure finds no errors. I then run make install clean
in both cases, and in both cases, the error message and results appear identical.I have downloaded flamp from http://www.sourceforge.net, and have extracted it, while flmsg is located in the ports collection.

pkg install flmsg
, but that file is not in the packages, although it IS in the ports. I tried the same with flamp and the result from the packages is the same. There is no instance of flamp in the ports.I am posting this question here since 1) it deals primarily with a FreeBSD port, and 2) although I have joined the 'linuxham' forum and have posted this question there, there appears to be zero interest there in helping with this issue.
