How did you link it before? By adding something like `/usr/X11/lib/libX11.a'
to the link line? Because AFAIK, if you have your library paths set
properly, `-lX11' should work. Make sure your environment variable
`LIBRARY_PATH' includes the appropriate directory. Also make sure that you
have a symlink called `libX11.so' which points to something like
`libX11.so.42' where 42 is the version number.
