Hi, I'm trying to compile/install EMBOSS 3.0.0 on a linux box with RedHat
Enterprise Server 3 (not
the latest, I know, but corporate standards, etc, etc, ...)

The error message from make/ld is:

> /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so when searching
for -lX11
> /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.a when searching
for -lX11
> /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11

The X version that RHES3 ships with is 4.3.0

> $ X -version 
> XFree86 Version 4.3.0 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 release: 4.3.0-68.EL)
> Release Date: 15 August 2003
> (and a lot more, deleted by the RSSPBW [Royal Swedish Society for the
Preservation of BandWidth]).

I couldn't find answer to this in the docs, nor in the mail archives, and I
guess that I'll end up having to
upgrade X, but it would be nice if someone could confirm that that would
solve the problem before I try?
Or is this something else?

cheers /staffan
