First, many thanks to the original poster.

This worked for installing on Debian 4.0 (etch), however when trying to run

 apt-get install xlibs

You get a note about dependency errors and the package is deprecated.  In doing some research this is indeed the case for Debian 4 and newer versions of ubuntu.  The solution is to install the following package.

apt-get install xorg-dev

The following thread discusses at least for ubuntu, the discontinuation of the xlibs library.
