The X11 library '-lX11' could not be found

[John Urness]

Hi,
In trying to compile ddd-3.3.7, I get the following error:
 
configure: error: The X11 library '-lX11' could not be found.
                  Please use the configure options '--x-includes=DIR'
                  and '--x-libraries=DIR' to specify the X location.
                  See the files 'config.log' and 'ddd/config.log'
                  for further diagnostics.

Here are the ./configure switches:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ddd-3.3.7 --with-x
--x-libraries=/usr/X11/lib --x-includes=/usr/X11/includes


I originally tried it without any configure switches except for --prefix,
but this did not work using /usr/openwin, so I installed X11R6.4.  The above
X11 is linked to X11R6.4.  Either way the results are the same.


Here is the path environment:

Here is a partial output from the config.log from where XOpenDisplay first
shows up:

What am I missing here?  It is unclear to me from other similar posts what
the resolution would be. 

 
Thanks in advance,
