X Programming prob...

["Karthik K H" <karthik_kh@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

HI ,
    I am facing a problem ( which I think maybe specific to Linux ).
 I have written a simple X Windows program to test my new installation of RHL5.2 
When I try to compile it with
"gcc -g -I/usr/include -I/usr/X11R6/include 
- -l/usr/X11R6/lib/Xt -l/usr/X11R6/lib/Xmu 
- -l/usr/X11R6/lib/X11 XHello.c "

I get an error saying "ld cannot open file /usr.../Xt
though the lib files are present there.

How ever when i replace all the "-l" options with a single one like "-L/usr/X11R6/lib" 
I get the following message
"/tmp/cca005521.o : In function main
/tmp/cca005521.o(.text+0x9): 
            Undefined reference to XOpenDisplay 
            Undefined reference to XCreateWindow
             Undefined reference to XCreateGC .....
    and so on.

But the whole thing works perfectly well with the same commands on AIX/Solaris with out change.

Though I have written a lotta X pgms earlier I have not faced this problem.
Can anyone check out on this ?
My directory locations are pretty much default.
/usr/include
/usr/lib
/usr/X11R6/include
/usr/X11R6/lib

cheers,
Karthik K H
