What are the Xlib libraries called under Linux. Thanks. You'll need xlib6g-dev. The X11 libs aren't normally in gcc's search path, you need both the search path *and* the library to link: $ gcc -g -O2 -o bar foo.c -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -- According to MegaHAL: The emu is a mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace.

Thanks. -D xlib6g installs its libraries under /usr/X11R6/lib/ (try dpkg --largemem -L xlib6g) and are trying to have names compatible with all other distributions. I think the problem is that xlib6g does not make /usr/lib/X11 to be a symlink to /usr/lib/X11R6 where ld likes to look for the libraries. Either make the symlink, or give ld (gcc will pass appropriate arguments to ld) a -L/usr/X11R6/lib switch. This is for now, Pavel M. Penev And what you should have tried is: gcc -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 other gcc options file.c Sorry for misleading you in a way. Hope you suceed this time, Pavel
