How to install xscreensaver?
I have Knoppix 5.0.1 and I'm using a flash drive to hold my configuration and data. I was attempting to compile xscreensaver but it errored out saying that there was no X. KDE requires X, yes? If that is the case, how do I tell xscreensaver the location of the X libraries and headers and stuff?

Why would you want to compile a program? Knoppix is based on Debian. Do you not know about Debian's packaging system?
Code:
$su
# apt-get -s install xscreensaver
# apt-get install xscreensaver
# exit
$
The -s option will simulate the installation, so you will see whether it should work. If the simulation looks good, then run the install.
I've never actually tried this in Knoppix, but it should work.

So I can customize the compilation and installation.

Yes, it is very nice. However, I do not want to use it in this case.
Anyone have a suggestion on how to compile xscreensaver under Knoppix?

Yes, you definitely have X installed, but you might not have the needed headers (or other development-stuff) installed.
When compiling things, you often need to install some "development" packages first. They include stuff like headers.
If you get error about X, you could try installing e.g. libx11-dev debian-package. If that doesn't fix it, then likely you need some other -dev packages first.

If you do have the headers and stuff installed, and you know where they are, you can tell that to configure-script before compiling.
Use ./configure --help to see all options. You can use --x-includes=DIR and --x-libraries=DIR to tell where X include-files and X libraries are located.
