I have a had a similar problem ocasionally, I have usr/X11/lib added
with ldconfig at boot, and a few times while trying to compile some
programs it said "-lX11 not found" when compiling the program. I ran
ldconfig /usr/X11/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/lib and it still didnt work.
when i added -L/usr/X11/lib to the CFLAGS it did work though.

I'm not sure why it happened, just thought I would mention it.
