I develop using SuSE Linux - so you really shouldn't have any
problems if you have SuSE set up correctly.
I have libX11 in these locations (according to 'find'):
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.a
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.1
What *might* be wrong is something like a missing symlink
that SuSE should have installed... eg: /usr/X11 links to
/usr/X11R6
...but you say that you had 'numerous problems' and that
you 'got around' them. This says to me that you have some
serious mis-install problems.
One common error is to fail to ask SuSE's YAST program to
install the X11 development package. I did this on my laptop
a couple of weeks ago (thinking that this was the package for
developing X windows rather than the package for compiling
programs that use X). For some insane reason, this is not
the default (grrrrr).
