    I was trying to install new intel graphics driver on Jaunty, but when I did ./configure, it generated the following message. I googled and when through a bunch of pages but none of them explained how to fix this:
    I tried to install libdrm 2.4.9, provided by intel linux drivers page, but it fails at "make" command also. :(
    Is this something included in a dev tree?

    using Jaunty 9.04
    Linux wirechief-laptop 2.6.30-020630rc2-generic #020630rc2 SMP Wed Apr 15 13:20:18 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

    I am trying to compile intel-gpu-tools-1.0 when I use ./ configure i get
    checking for DRM... configure: error: Package requirements (libdrm_intel >= 2.4.6) were not met:

    No package 'libdrm_intel' found

    Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
    installed software in a non-standard prefix.

    Alternatively, you may set the environment variables DRM_CFLAGS
    and DRM_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
    See the pkg-config man page for more details.

    however i see that this is installed from my PPA that I am using to slow down my freezes
    with the intel graphics card 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)


    2009-04-28 03:49:41 status installed libdrm-intel1 2.4.9+git20090427.11b60973-0ubuntu0sarvatt

    compiling is not a big part of my experiences with linux (usually use .deb's) but am needing help on this, is it because i am using a PPA package it doesnt recognize it ?
    if so how should i proceed to have it finish.
