Well, it looks like your X windows libraries are missing - but assuming
you are actually running X, that's impossible.  It must be that the
linker is not looking in the right places for libraries.

When I compile TuxKart, it has '-L/usr/X11R6/lib' on the c++ command-line,
but you don't seem to have that.

That suggests that your './configure' didn't work properly.

Could you please remove the 'config.cache' file from the top level tuxkart
directory, re-run './configure' and email me everything that comes out of
that program plus the contents of 'config.log' after you did that.

This will allow me to see what went wrong during configuration and why.

I agree though - it sounds like some kind of X-windows development option
needed to be installed on your machine - and isn't.

We can find out for sure though.
