libx11 not found

[I dont have one]

When i run ./configure it says i need libx11, can someone point me to a place where i can get this?
Thanx

I had that problem and added /usr/lib to my /etc/ld.so.conf file and ran ldconfig which fixed it.

[MrNewbie]

Btw, are you using Slackware?

[I dont have one]

no, mandrake 7.2.....and i cant figure out how to run ldconfig
i change my .ld.so.config so it looks like this....
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/lib

but i cant find ldconfig
Thanx

[MrNewbie]

Are you root when you try to run ldconfig? It should be in /sbin/ldconfig try that, btw, you said .ld.so.conf was that a mistake? because it should be the /etc/ld.so.conf file, (no .)

Yeah i meant ld.so.config sorry bout that. in my /sbin the only file i have that looks like ldconfig is ifconfig. Are u sure its in /sbin? I'll keep lookin tho. Thnx

allright, i edited the ld.so.config so it looks like
/usr/lib/X11R6
/usr/lib

And i found ldconfig and ran it.
When i run the file/game I still the get the error
"Can't load libGl.so from etc/ld.so.config"
And the last line is
"Could not load OpenGL subsystem"
do i need to get OpenGL or something? I have no idea what it is. Thanx

Well I've never tried to get opengl or any 3d working in linux, but I'd guess you do need the open gl stuff.
