[SciPy-user] X11 Build Problem

[Alan Bromborsky]

I am trying to build SciPy on the following system:
    Fedora Core 3 X86_64
    Dual Opteron processors
    Python 2.3.4

I get the error during linking that the linker cannot find -lX11.  On my 
system it is in '/usr/X11R6/lib64'.  Note that setup_xplt.py uses 
get_info('x11').  The actual error messages are:

*/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
error: Command "gcc -pthread -shared
