shared libraries

[Tom Guilderson]

I have been trying to do some X windows programming. When i try
to link against libX11 etc. I get errors such as the following:

	[TWGuilderson at linux1 mofif]gcc -o label label.c -lX11 -lXm
	/usr/bin/ld: cannot open -lX11: No such file or directory
	collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

This is my /etc/ld.so.conf file which I have run ldconfig against
to insure the ld.so.cache is up to date			

	/usr/X11R6/lib/
	/usr/lib/
	/usr/-486-linux-libc5/lib/
	/usr/lib/qt-2.0.1/lib/
	/usr/lib/qt-1.44/lib/
	/usr/lesstif/lib/

If I run ldconfig -p I see libX11.so under /usr/X11R6/lib as well
as libXm for motif under /usr/lesstif/lib.

If I am only linking against one of the libraries such as libX11
I can pass the
-L option such as
	-L/usr/X11R6/lib/ -lX11
and ld will find libX11. the problem is if I need libX11 and
another library in another directory.  does anyone have any
ideas. Has anyone else run into anything like this.

System is Redhat 6.1 on Intel, kernel 2.2.12-20

If anyone can offer any help it will be greatly appreciated.
