Ray, I also had a very similar problem with -lXt, the only difference is that I used altgcc for compilation. Btw, what is the prefered way to use it? I installed xlib6g, xlib6g-dev, xlib6, altgcc, libc5-altdev packages and put in Makefile the following CC = /usr/i486-linuxlibc1/bin/gcc LDFLAGS = -L/usr/lib/libc5-compat/ LIBS = -lXt -lXext -lX11 and the line: $(CC) -o bla *.o $(LDFLAGS) $(LIBS) gives me the same error: can't load -lXt library...
