Of all the things I've been compiling, I've never had a problem with a program not being able to find X11. All the problems have been with my putting all my libs and packages in /usr/local/lib. I've had to fiddle with LD_LIBARARY_PATH, ldconfig, and a few other hellish hacks. I've now successfully built about a third of gnome, but am now having problems with programs trying to link against libgnome.so -- when they try to do so, i get unresolved externals in libgnome, complaining that they can't find routines in from libintl. I only have a static version of the latter. bit of a nightmare. But a good introduction to the world of Un*X libraries, I suppose. marc.
