I install a virtual centos system on my win7’s vmware tools. all the necessary tools were installed before, like cmake,gcc,g++ and more.  
but when I run : cmake .  
I got the error like this:

===============================================================  
[root@MiWiFi-R2D-srv glfw-build]# cmake .

But I think I already installed the x11

So what’s the problem?

Can you try running `yum groupinstall "X Software Development"` to install X development libraries? Maybe some of them are not installed.
