This sounds like a Makefile configuration problem. It would help if
you showed us the make error that you got when you compiled it. make has
a -L switch that allows one to indicate the directory(ies) that libraries
can be found in. So to solve this, you would add the following to the
line in the Makefile that builds the executable target:
-L /usr/X11R6/lib
I'm not familiar with the gnome software or its build process but I think
/usr/X11R6 is a pretty standard path for X so I'm a little surprised that
this wouldn't already be in the Makefile. Anyway, I hope this helps.
