well, I am NOT the programmer, so maybe Dom knows more, but I search=20
google and it points me to the same problem:

Is there also a symlink named libXext.so, pointing at libXext.so.6?=20
(The dynamic linker looks for shared libraries whose names end in=20
plain ".so", and these are often symbolic links to particular=20
versions  of the libraries.)=20


If the answer to the above is Yes, I suspect the configure script=20
for this application is broken. I've seen that sometimes with=20
Debian source packages (I can't remember what sort of package this=20
is, that you're talking about): my X setup is perfectly standard,=20
yet even when I explicitly specify the X location on the=20
"configure" command line, X stuff is "not found".=20
