okay, so you aren't using xdbe, that's good.

You can try to "repair" your installation (setting the correct
symlink(s), as Ian proposed) or maybe re-installing some X11 development
packages, I don't know ...
Or you can try to remove "-lXext" from your makeinclude file in the top
build directory (I have it in 2 places), because it is not really needed
in this configuration. I tested this, and it works here, fluid and all
test programs build without any references to libXext (other than if
building with --enable-xdbe). I'm not 100% sure about this however, if
this is true for your system too.
