If you don't have the X development packages installed, you will need
to make some symlinks:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root staff 27 2004-07-08 11:01 /usr/local/lib/libXext.so -> /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root staff 25 2004-07-08 11:01 /usr/local/lib/libXt.so -> /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6
Then run ldconfig. At least, this is what I've had to do for many
years going back to the M18 days as the shortened file names only exist
in Debian when the X development packages are installed.
