     All I can tell you Gary is that you're not alone.  I've had several 
applications refuse to compile correctly and every one of them had the same 
problem...linking 'X' libraries (but what's really odd is the fact that I've 
also had almost as many 'X' apps that have failed compile without any errors 
too).  

     Since I'm far from what I'd call a Linux Guru the only thing I can 
think of is that sometimes there seems to be a failure to follow the link 
between the 'X11' and the 'X11R6' directories...but what can be done about it 
is well over my head (at least for now).  If you find a fix I'd appreciate it 
if you post it here...an email message would work too..<g>.

 ...Cheers,

 ...Norm
