Xboxdrv wont install

[funnyname]

First off let me say this distro is the most beautiful distro I've seen in a long time. I am not new to Linux but am brand new to Slackware and just switched over from Ubuntu and have had small problems with skype but managed to fix them. I have tried every thing in my power to install xboxdrv and every time I use the package manager I get problems (I have also tried sbopkg and other things to no avail).

is the error I keep getting.

I have one more question that is on the subject of packages, when I install a package it installs dependency I need however it sometimes installs side programs that I dont need or want for example when I install Nmap it installs Zenmap with it. Is it posable to remove say Zenmap without removing Nmap if so how, Thanks in advance!

You most probably need to install boost first.

No. Zenmap is included in the nmap package, so it can't be installed or removed separately.

The install worked thanks!
