Your system knows what it's told, and it's probably missing a bit of
information in this case. That is, it doesn't know where to look
for this library.

Try adding the following switch to that compilation command
-L/usr/X11R6/lib
I don't think that the computer/compiler will look for libraries in
that directory by default. It probably looks in one or more of
/usr/lib, /usr/local/lib, and /lib. If a library is located in any
other directory, it usually needs a -L/directory/to/library switch.
