On my system I had to put these symbolic links
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Feb 28 14:47 libXpm.so -> libXpm.so.4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Feb 28 13:48 libXext.so -> libXext.so.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Feb 28 12:59 libX11.so -> libX11.so.6
in order for `ld` to accept -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXpm -lXext -lX11
Thanks, Michael

Hi,
this is not a bug, the .so symlinks are provided by the -dev packages
(libx11-dev, libxext-dev, libxpm-dev), as they are not needed at
runtime. They are not, and should not be, included in the library
packages themselves.
Closing this spurious bug report.
Regards,
Julien
