I was not sure if this belonged in another group, maybe something related
to Ghostscript but it's going here! My apologies if this is the wrong
group, I could not find any approperiate Ghostscript groups. 

I am trying to compile Ghostscript 2.6.2 on a Sun LX running Solaris 2.4. 
Compiling with gcc.  All seems to work with 'make' and 'make install'. 
The executable gs that is produced causes the following error: 

# ./gs
ld.so.1: ./gs: fatal: libXext.so.0: can't open file: errno=2
Killed

Now, I'm no programmer (I'm not even quite sure how I got this task thrust
upon me), but I suspect that ld.so.1 and libXext.so.0 are not being linked
properly during the compile.  The two files are in the file system, and in
$PATH.  I look in the makefile for ghostscript and it states that the ld
flags may need to be modified.  I have tried several attempts w/o any luck
but varing degrees of errors. I have tried working with ld using static,
specifying the libs, but no luck. 

Does anyone have any suggestions?  Am I even working/looking the in right
areas? 

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
