I tried to build libreoffice 4.0.2.2 on Ubuntu 13.04 x86-64 using VirtualBox. An error has occurred which says: no suitable windowing system found, exiting .
Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Why don't you use the compiled version? Have you installed all neded development libraries?– ManuelJun 19, 2013 at 6:16

The official wiki says:
sudo apt-get build-dep libreoffice # only on Debian/Ubuntu git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core libreoffice cd libreoffice ./autogen.sh make dev-install
You can get the compiled version here. Just choose x86_64 or x86 and deb.
Unpack the file:
- Click on your downloaded package (or right click and do a "Open With" and choose your unpacking tool).
- Extract the folder to a location you have easy access to (your Home directory is fine)
Installation of the packages
- Change into the unpacked folder, in it you will see some files and a DEBS/ folder.
- Change into this folder
- Select ALL files within this folder (except the "desktop integration" folder).
- Do a right-click and in the drop-down menu select something like "Open with Ubuntu Software center"
You may be prompted to install dependencies, generally the system will tell you if these dependencies will break something.
Change into the desktop integration folder. This contains a LibreOffice*debian-menus_*.deb file
- Again right-click and open with Ubuntu Software Center to install.

I've already used those commands but the problem appears when I do the "make" and it looks like this: no suitable windowing system found, exiting. make[1]: *** [/home/alloo/lo/workdir/unxlngx6.pro/Gallery/arrows.done]– AllooJun 19, 2013 at 7:10
