fwiw, 0.8.0 fails the same way. Upstream appears to be alive if someone is interested.
Mask removed, version bumped to 0.8.0, LDFLAGS respected, libdir properly set. Mail as sent upstream: From: Jeroen Roovers <jer@gentoo.org> To: wburdick@cs.umn.edu, qa@gentoo.org Subject: viewer 0.8.0 - configure should discover X11 libdir automatically Date: Sat, 26 Dec 2009 18:29:03 +0100 X-Mailer: Claws Mail 3.7.3 (GTK+ 2.16.6; i686-pc-linux-gnu) Dear viewer developer, as set out in Gentoo bug #247737 [1], viewer currently doesn't find the X11 library directory on more modern installations, where the deprecated /usr/X11R6 base dir isn't used any longer. While the Gentoo patch I applied does not fix but only works around the problem of the configure script figuring out by itself where that directory would be, and I cannot therefore help you fix this problem in the viewer software itself, this message is to let you know that the problem exists in some form or another on some platforms. Kind regards, Jeroen Roovers Gentoo developer [1] https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=247737
