Sascha,

When you compile stuff with gcc, you can tell it to use specific libraries.
To do this you supply a command line argument such as "-lm" (this says, use
the maths library). -lX11 is telling gcc to use the X11 library. But it
seems your gcc cannot find it.

I know it's not much help, but it's an explanation as to what is going
wrong. Stick around and someone else here may be able to give you a better
answer such as where the libraries should be, or what to look for in the
source distribution for X11 that may be making this fail.

Cheers,

Collin

I have build new kernel and userland.
Uname: NetBSD alpha.svk.de 1.6B NetBSD 1.6B (MYALPHA-$Revision: 1.0 $)

Now i have try to build XFree 4.x on this machine.

After any time compiling, i have this become:

---------------------
Full build of Release 6.6 of the X Window System complete.

making all in /usr/xsrc/local/programs...
making all in /usr/xsrc/local/programs/x11-ssh-askpass...

---------------------

The ld cannot find -lX11, i think "-l" is a option an X11 is a file,
directory or type of linking.

Can anybody help me to correct this problem ?

I will use the Xfree 4 for a standart SVGA Card. I have not a tga card.

Thanks

Sascha
