This is the directory containing Xlib.h and other X11 files.  On
CentOS 5 this is /usr/include/X11.  On SuSE Linux Enterprise it's
in /usr/X11R6/include/X11.  The command ``locate /Xlib.h'' may
tell you where it is on your system.

This is where your libX11.so.* libraries are installed.  On SuSE
it's /usr/X11R6/lib/, on CentOS it's in /usr/lib.  Again, you may
be able to use ``locate /libX11'' to find it on your system.
