The command

apt-file search X11/Xlib.h

tells me you need the package "libx11-dev".

That's also in "libx11-dev".

These are in "x11proto-core-dev".

Maybe you need other -dev packages but that is not yet clear. I would
suggest that you install the package apt-file and use the command

sudo apt-file update

and then search for the missing files if the next make command complains
about missing files again.

It appears he's trying to build from a tarball, as a plain-jane apt-get
install would not require that, or would install the dependency if
actually needed. Just checked, HTK is not in the repo's I'm sub'ed to,
so he has little other choice than to compile. To do that, he will need
all the dev files that the script needs. I'm surprised that ./configure
didn't catch the missing lib files and report that lack. Ric

Yes, obviously - I didn't quote the make command …

Well, some projects come without a ./configure and only have a Makefile.
Often there is at least a README file which explains which libraries are
needed but that doesn't help either because usually it doesn't mention
the -dev package names but only the name of the libraries. While the
names are similar, it may be difficult to find the correct package
anyway.

Just another thought: It would also be useful to install the package
checkinstall and then use the command

sudo checkinstall make install

as the final step to install the program. Then it is under control of
the package management and can be easily uninstalled if necessary.

There's a pile of text-to-speech programs listed but I'm not seeing much
speech recognition. Sphinx is listed, as a speech recognition system.
Transcriber is also listed to handle speech .wav files, but doesn't
mention that it will handle live speech input.

Good luck!! I'm sure what you are trying to do will be of benefit to
others. Ric
