Bug description

Full_Name: Sakshale eQuorian
Version: 3.08.3
OS: FC3 i86_64
Submission from: c-67-174-236-164.hsd1.ca.comcast.net (67.174.236.164)

While trying to build on an x64 system, make failed on
the X11 libraries.

make world

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [libgraphics.a] Error 2

There are two versions installed and it got the wrong ones.

/usr/X11R6/include/X11/X.h
/usr/X11R6/lib64/Server/include/X.h

/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.a
/usr/X11R6/lib64/libX11.a

So, I corrected the issue with the following commandline

./configure --x11include /usr/X11R6/lib64/Server/include
--x11lib /usr/X11R6/lib64

That got the following results.

Configuration for the "graph" library:
options for compiling .... -I/usr/X11R6/include
options for linking ...... -L/usr/X11R6/lib64 -lX11

Now the make completes without any serious errors.

I am not sure that -I/usr/X11R6/include is correct though,
given that I told it to look in /usr/X11R6/lib64/Server/include.
