Can't find library: X11

[Joe Haines]

I am trying to compile rdesktop on HPUX 11.00. Executing "make" causes the following error..

/usr/ccs/bin/ld: Can't find library: "X11"

The makefile includes the -lX11 option.

Where do I go from here?

Thanks,
Joe

Running

whereis X11

should return this on 11.0:

X11: /usr/bin/X11 /usr/contrib/bin/X11 /usr/contrib/lib/X11

if nothing is returned, you may not have X11 installed on your system. It should be on the OS CDs.

whereis shows

/usr/bin/X11 /usr/local/bin/X11 /usr/contrib/bin/X11 /usr/contrib/lib/X11

I have added all of these paths to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and SHLIB_PATH

I still get the same message. If I remove the -lX11 from the Makefile, the results of make is many unsatisfied symbols. Some examples...

XInternAtom, XMatchVisualInfo, XFillRectangle, XSetFillStyle...

Thank you,

Joe

Does the first part of the /usr/lib directory listing look something like this:

dr-xr-xr-x 2 bin bin 96 Sep 27 1999 Motif1.1
dr-xr-xr-x 2 bin bin 96 Nov 28 2001 Motif1.2
dr-xr-xr-x 2 bin bin 96 Dec 21 01:16 Motif1.2_R6

dr-xr-xr-x 3 bin bin 1024 Dec 21 01:16 X11R6


and does /etc/X11 contain something like these:

My directories contain the same files/folders but dates are mostly Jan 2003.

Joe,

Do you have the C/ANSI C Development Bundle installed? If you don't, you won't have the correct development libraries (ie, the .sl links).

Also, does the link line have the proper -L directives? I believe you'll need "-L/usr/lib/X11R6" on there.
