We could just add -L/usr/X11R6/lib but I would favour adding AC_PATH_X to configure.in. Patch to follow.

I can't reproduce this bugs, reassigning to gfx
Comment 3 Ed Catmur 2005-03-30 18:28:54 UTC 
Well, yeah; libXext.so is now in /usr/lib not /usr/X11R6/lib, since X was re-FHS'd. Probably everyone uses recent Xorg now with libs in /usr/lib, so there's no point fixing this.

Marking WONTFIX.
