Installing X11::GUITest on Ubuntu Linux

When you try to install X11::GUITest on a fresh installation of Ubuntu Linux, you will get the following error:

GUITest.xs:41:27: error: X11/Intrinsic.h: No such file or directory

GUITest.xs:42:28: error: X11/StringDefs.h: No such file or directory

make: *** [GUITest.o] Error 1

To fix it, you must install first the X.Org X Window System development libraries:

sudo apt-get install xorg-dev

And then issue again the usual installation commands:

perl Makefile.PL

make

make test

make install

I have notified this issue to the module author, and asked him to update the Readme.
