Compilation problem

[AUnderwood at PHLS.org.uk]

Hi all,

When installing EMBOSS I have the following error message after typing the
make command:
make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/EMBOSS-2.4.1/emboss'
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc  -g -O2   -o abiview  abiview.o
../nucleus/libnucleus.la ../ajax/libajaxg.la ../ajax/libajax.la
../plplot/libplplot.la -lX11  -lm
gcc -g -O2 -o .libs/abiview abiview.o  ../nucleus/.libs/libnucleus.so
../ajax/.libs/libajaxg.so ../ajax/.libs/libajax.so
../plplot/.libs/libplplot.so -lX11 -lm -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [abiview] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/EMBOSS-2.4.1/emboss'
make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/EMBOSS-2.4.1/emboss'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1


By searching newsgroups I understand that this could be solved by adding the
line -L/usr/X11R6/lib somewhere in the makefile. I am running Linux redhat
7.3. Please can you tell me how to solve this problem.


Many thanks,
