  Hi,

  This is annoying, because I should be able to see what's wrong,
but I can't.  I'm trying to build the I18n version on the Arena browser.
I keeps failing in the final link stage because it can't find the
proper X library (I know this is awfully basic).  And I haven't had
this kind of compiling failure before.

  This is what it looks like:
...
g.a ../../Image/zlib/linux/libz.a -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -L../../Library/linux -lwww -lm 
/usr/i486-linux/bin/ld: cannot open -lX11: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [../../Arena/linux/arena] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/denisbin/WWW/Arena/linux'
make: *** [../../Arena/linux/arena] Error 2
WWW build for  linux  done. status =  2

  It looks to me like the library specification is right.  Certainly the
 -L/usr/X11R6/lib  (the linux default) is.  And the default of -lX11 should
be right, I think.  I've spent at least an hour trying various different
possibilities, but nothing helps.

  My /usr/X11R6/lib directory contains these files:

X11@                 libXIE.so@           libXpm.a
fonts/               libXIE.so.6@         libXpm.so.4@
libFS.a              libXIE.so.6.0*       libXpm.so.4.3*
libICE.so@           libXau.a             libXt.so@
libICE.so.6@         libXaw.so@           libXt.so.6@
libICE.so.6.0*       libXaw.so.6@         libXt.so.6.0*
libMagick.a          libXaw.so.6.0*       libXtst.so@
libMagick.so@        libXdmcp.a           libXtst.so.6@
libMagick.so.3.8@    libXext.so@          libXtst.so.6.0*
libMagick.so.3.8.5*  libXext.so.6@        libjd.a
libSM.so@            libXext.so.6.0*      liblbxXext.a
libSM.so.6@          libXi.so@            liboldX.a
libSM.so.6.0*        libXi.so.6@          libwnn.a
libX11.so@           libXi.so.6.0*        libwnn.so@
libX11.so.6@         libXmu.so@           libwnn.so.1.0@
libX11.so.6.0*       libXmu.so.6@         libwnn.so.1.0.0*
libXExExt.a          libXmu.so.6.0*       xmahjongg/

 ( X11 is a link to /var/X11R6/lib )

  I would be grateful for any pointers.
