Thank you Richard. However those links from harrisgeospecial web site are not working on Ubuntu 16.04 64 bits. Ok on Ubuntu 12 LTS. And once again NIH web site comes to the rescue, I found instruction from NIH NIFTI web support https://afni.nimh.nih.gov/afni/community/board/read.php?1,15 1673,151693#msg-151693 The instruction is excellent and I managed to build libXp library successfully for Ubuntu 16.04.
