To install GEDIT, apt-get wants to REMOVE some items

It seems to me that either the GIT, or the DPKG or somewhere installed 'libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev' in order for me to compile linuxcnc.

After the dust settled and a successful compile -- I found GEDIT was removed.

Now when I try 'apt-get install gedit' it notifies me with this:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
libgl1-mesa-swx11 libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev

There are other mesa graphics files being left alone, so the question is: do I need these to compile or run linuxcnc?

Thanks in advance.

BTW, I'm writing some components and need to be able to compile often. Also, if anyone has any other SIMPLE editor ideas, please let me know.

Thanks for the answer. So I can assume I must keep those particular mesa-swx11 files?
