Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

There is a configure option to let it use shared libraries that solves the problem. Considering it links in several copies of libX11 would be a nice idea to just let it use the shared copies.

Patch that allows alliance to use shared libraries

The patch is as simple as adding a configure option. 
I have tested it with success, showing binaries using system wide libraries like libSM.so , libuuid.so.1 and libICE.so .
