Installation woes

I've been trying to configure, compile and install v2.2.0 on a NetBSD 
system for the last couple of days with less than satisfactory results. 
  The basic problem appears to be that the created Makefile doesn't link 
in the X11 libraries, no matter how they're specified in the configure 
session.  I've included the flags "--x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib" and 
"--x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include" (no success); I've accepted default 
values by _not_ including the flags, I've specified "--with-x", I've 
ignored it.  I've even gone so far as to hand edit the Makefile after 
configure, all to no avail.

Each time I try to run, e.g. wossname, I get the error message "Shared 
object "libX11.so.6" not found" and if I run "ldd wossname", I get the 
following message:

/usr/pkg/emboss/bin/wossname:
          -lnucleus.1 => /usr/pkg/emboss/lib/libnucleus.so.1
          -lajaxg.1 => /usr/pkg/emboss/lib/libajaxg.so.1
          -lajax.1 => /usr/pkg/emboss/lib/libajax.so.1
          -lplplot.5 => /usr/pkg/emboss/lib/libplplot.so.5
          -lX11.6 => not found
          -lm.0 => /usr/lib/libm387.so.0
          -lm.0 => /usr/lib/libm.so.0
          -lc.12 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1"fix" this problem?

As you can see, all libraries _except_ the libX11 library are linked in 
at compile time.

It goes without saying that I'm about at my wits end.  Anybody have any 
ideas what I might do to "fix" this problem?
