This is a comprehensive guide to building and installing "generic" UNIX software distributions under Linux unrecognized aliases for libraries present in your system. For example, the build may require libX11.so.6, but there exists no such file or link in /usr/X11R6/lib. Yet, there is a libX11.so.6.1. The solution is to do a ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.1 /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6, as root. This may need to be followed by a ldconfig. o Sometimes the source needs the older release X11R5 libraries to build. If you have the R5 libs in /usr/X11R6/lib (you were given the option of having them when first installing Linux), then you need only ensure that you have the links that the software needs to build. The R5 libs are named libX11.so.3.1.0,
