Collins Heres some ideas: for starters, look at config.log and get a more detailed look at how its failing. does gcc -lX11 give an error like : /usr/i386-slackware-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status or like /usr/lib/crt1.o: In function `_start': /usr/lib/crt1.o(.text+0x18): undefined reference to `main' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status if its the first, maybe you just need a -L/usr/X11/lib do a objdump -t /usr/X11/lib/libX11.so.6 |grep XOpenDisplay. It should be listed.
