I had this problem a while back. I was given the following as pointers. I
can remember whether I needed all of them or just one to fix it. However I
do know that you needed to edit the make file, look for -lX11 and add the
bit with -L below, the order or -l and -L is important.

It could be that the configure script has options to set this. Do
./configure --help.
Most makefiles have:
--x-libraries=DIR X library files are in DIR
as an option.
Try ./configure --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib
(alter according to the correct path)
If not, two options:
1) Fix the configure script. Not recommended for the beginner.
2) Hack the makefile so it just works, and tell the maintainer about the
problem and get them to submit a proper fix. The method of choice. :)
Find your X11 libraries. On my system:
[will@dogfox will]$ locate libX11
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.a
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.2
Edit the makefile, find instances of the string '-lX11' and add the string
'-L/path/to/lib' in front of it (e.g. I would put '-L/usr/X11R6/lib').
This should fix the problem.

Soln 2
Check the build flags include:
-L/usr/X11R6/lib
This is where the libX11.so* should live. Maybe SuSE 6.3 puts X in a
different place. Check under /usr.
$ find /usr -name libX11.so\* -print

Soln 3
Is this the error you get?
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXt
If so then its to do with the fact that it can't find
the library Xt - even if you have it installed. What I
had to do was to make a symbolic link from /usr/X11 to
/usr/X11R6
eg
#cd /usr
# ln -s X11R6 X11
I got this error when I tried to compile a Lexmark
printer driver. Having to make this link is described
in this web page:

soln 4
configure should be picking this up itself.
Probably `xmkmf' is not installed or not working. If that works, then
configure should be able to locate the X library directory (it asks
xmkmf/imake for it).

soln 5
-lX11
If you already _have_ -lX11, what you probably need to do is to
reorder the libraries so that -lX11 comes after the objects or
libraries where is can't be found.
Also note that the -L/usr/X11R6/lib flag must come _before_ the -lX11
flag.
