"X Window is Required" error when installing on Ubuntu 9

[David Zhao]

Hi there,

I've got a "X Window is Required" error when tried to install
remotepad on ubuntu 9 at the "./configure" stage. I'm running gnome,
not sure what to do to start X window.
Thanks!

Solved by "sudo apt-get install libxtst-dev libxtst6"

That means you are already running remotepad or another application is
using the same port number as remotepad.

How will I change the remotepad's port number or check what it is?
