Hi,
  Would anyone know how to get beyond the following error. I'm looking
around, but it's not clear as to what's needed.

checking whether to track client ids... yes
checking for XLIB... yes
checking for GL... yes
checking for DRIPROTO... no
configure: error: Package requirements (xf86driproto >= 2.1.0) were not met:

No package 'xf86driproto' 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 DRIPROTO_CFLAGS
and DRIPROTO_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
