Hi Blaine,

gcc (or g++, same thing really) will only look in a few places by
default for your library files.  Specifically, it won't look in
/usr/X11R6/lib (or wherever your library files are).  If your X
libraries are in /usr/X11/lib, then you'd want to run

 g++ -o secdb secdb.C -L/usr/X11/lib -lXm -lXt -lX11

If you're including X11 header files, you should probably have
something like -I/usr/X11/include on your command line.  

There may be some sym-links to mae these header files or library files
available invisibly.  But in general, you need to tell the compiler
where they are.

PS-  Although it makes debugging a little weird (specifically stepping
in gdb is non-intuitive), you can safely add "-g -O2" to your command
line.  The resulting output file is larger, but the debug sections
won't be loaded at execution time, so you pay no significant penalty
for including "-g".
