Can't find library

[davidm]

I am trying to learn to program my linux box. I am trying to compile a program that links against the x11 library. I am using the flag -lx11 with gcc, but I get the error that the compiler can't find the library. Any suggestions?

That's X11. Not x11.

Try also adding the flag -L/usr/X11R6/lib to your gcc line.
