    Hi all,

    I’m trying to install RetroPie from the git repo on my Raspbmc installation, but when I run the retropie_setup.sh I encounter the following error:

    Did not find needed package(s): libxkbcommon-dev. I am trying to install them now.

    E: Unable to locate package libxkbcommon-dev
    Could not install package(s): libxkbcommon-dev. Aborting now.

    It happens when it is installing dependencies for RetroArch.

    I try to do the installation with the binary version.

    I also tried to download the deb package for this lib, but I need to update libc6 tot >= 2.17 but that is not possible, because it’s aborted and not in the apt-get repo.

    Could any one help me?

    Regards,

    This happened to me too. It looks like it’s not in the default apt repositories.

    add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list file:

    deb http://raspberrypi.collabora.com wheezy rpi

    then just apt-get install libxkbcommon-dev

    I found the solution here:

    http://wayland.freedesktop.org/raspberrypi.html

    On December 4th, 2013, libxkbcommon-dev is not yet found in Raspbian itself, but it is available from the raspberrypi.collabora.com repository, see above.

    Hope this helps!
