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
