/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXext

["Dr. Sachin Kale" <sauravsk@agd2.dot.net.in>]

Hello

I am trying to compile examples given in qt2-doc package, even though
the directory containg libs is specified as -L/usr/X11R6/lib while
linking I get the above error.

ldconfig -p |grep *Xext* gives follwoing-

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           14 Apr 10 19:49
libXext.so.6 -> libXext.so.6.3

In the /usr/X11R6/lib ls -lF *Xext* gives -

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           14 Apr 10 19:49
libXext.so.6 -> libXext.so.6.3
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        44456 Feb 12  2001 libXext.so.6.3

I am stuck here ; if those libs are there & they are recognised by
ldconfig why I am getting that error. I had also specified the path by
using -L/usr/X11R6/lib. Still this problem is there.

Pls help me with this one.

And kindly cc me the replys.

Thanks.

Sachin
