I have Amazon Linux AMI 2015.09 and i need to use some GUI application on it. When i tried to install desktop environment i found out that there are no any X11 packages on repos.
I tried to use CentOS repos but it's caused conflicts with pre instaled packages.
The way described in this topic is not work because there is no libX11* packages available.
Is there any way to fix it?

Yes, you can compile all of those packages.
Or switch to a different OS and your problem goes away.

Maybe this will help. According to these people, it will not be a problem to switch to a new OS.
