I noticed that make was also failing, with the message:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11
Googling around, I found that it wants a directory /usr/X11R6/lib. I had
xorg in /opt/xorg, and /etc/ld.so.conf has:
# Begin /etc/ld.so.conf
/usr/local/lib
/usr/lib
/opt/lib
/opt/xorg/lib
# End /etc/ld.so.conf
Creating a /usr/X11R6/ symlink to /opt/xorg solved the problem. Maybe
the book should mention the need to create a /usr/X11R6 symlink?
make test (for Python) still fails with test_cookielib. I couldn't
google my way around this.
