Okay, I tried the instructions on MOl's wiki

apt-get install libc6-dev ncurses-dev zlib1g-dev libasound2-dev xlibs-dev libpng12-dev libxxf86dga-dev automake autoconf

But I got this spit back at me:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
libc6-dev is already the newest version.
Note, selecting libncurses5-dev instead of ncurses-dev
libncurses5-dev is already the newest version.
zlib1g-dev is already the newest version.
Package xlibs-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package xlibs-dev has no installation candidate

Doing the install procedure anyways?:

Can somebody tell me what I need to do?

I haven't got a clue what you are trying to achieve ( my fault ) but I do suggest you start explaining your ' problem space ' a bit better.

You don't need to do anything ..... you launched a command and the command is executing. You might not like the result, so you need to define your questions a lot better.

Good luck.

I am trying to build Mac-On-Linux from the latest source, the wiki said for ubuntu users to follow these instructions:
If you want to use the (outdated) packages supplied by Ubuntu, there is a wiki page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacOnLinuxHowto

If you want to compile from source, read on!
Installing the Required Packages

You will need to install some development packages:

# apt-get install libc6-dev ncurses-dev zlib1g-dev \
libasound2-dev xlibs-dev libpng12-dev libxxf86dga-dev \
automake autoconf

Then
# ./autoconfig
# make
# make install

I don't get past make details above

Did you install the Linux source and Linux headers packages?
Also try ./configure instead of ./autoconfig
Is there a README with the source?
