Make sure that you have a .so version of all the X libraries:

    libX11.so -> libX11.so.6
    libX11.so.6 -> libX11.so.6.0
    libX11.so.6.0

If you don't have the .so -> .so.6 symlink then the linker won't find the
shared library. (These links say which shared library you want linked in and
they are not created automatically.)

And if your not using ELF then you can ignore this.
