Hi,

I just installed SDL on a linux box and am trying to
compile a small sample program which just calls
SDL_Init() and does atexit(SDL_Quit). When i try to
compile this program, during the linking phase i am
seeing the following errors. It looks like X11 library
is not being linked so i tried specifying -lX11 and
-L/usr/X11R6/lib/ etc. but still no success. When i
just give -lX11 it says X11 not found. Here is the
command i am using ==> gcc test.c sdl-config --libs --cflags -lX11 -L/usr/X11R6/lib and below are the
errors. Any help is greatly appreciated. Please cc-me
in the reply as i am not subscribed to sdl mailing
list yet.
