[Mesa3d-users] Mesa won't compile

[Sen P. <7s...@ql...>]

Could anyone please help me with a problem. I am having compiling MESA
3.4 on my Linux (Mandrake 7.2).
All the .c files seem to compile but then I get
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXext
error. I guess Xext refers to the libXext  X extensions libraries.

Why can't it find this library, when it's in its normal place
/usr/X11R6/lib
:
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           14 Jan 22 23:47 libXext.so ->
libXext.so.6.4*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           14 Jan 22 23:47 libXext.so.6 ->
libXext.so.6.4*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     wheel       60605 Dec 19 15:35 libXext.so.6.4*

What I did was I downloaded MesaLib 3.4 & MesaDemos 3.4, untar, then cd
into the Mesa-3.4 directory that they create become root then type:
./configure
(wait)
...then...
make

then I get the error:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXext

Any ideas?

Thanks
