[ClusterIt-CVS] ClusterIT 2 compilation problems on debian stable

[Ivan T. <iv...@ge...>]

Hi there,

Whilst trying to compile clusterit-2.4 on a debian stable machine I ran
into two problems.

1. gcc  -g -O2   -o dvt  dvt.o common.o netbsd.o -lX11 -lnsl
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [dvt] Error 1

2. make[2]: Entering directory `/apps/src/clusterit/clusterit-2.4/dvt'
gcc  -g -O2   -o dvt  dvt.o common.o netbsd.o -lX11 -lnsl
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [dvt] Error 1

It turns out that the /usr/X11R6/lib directory isn't part of the default
ld(1) search path, so I needed to have the flag "-L/usr/X11R6/lib"
somewhere before "-lX11" in the offending command.

I wonder if the above information can correct this bug ( is it a bug ?)

Thank you in advance.
