gnuplot 4.x not using X libraries:Solved

[Joel Hammer]

Thanks for the info.

I got the development files, and put them into my include
directory. Configure went fine and make went fine until
I came to the compile part. This was what I got:

gcc  -g -O2   -o gnuplot_x11  gplt_x11.o gpexecute.o getcolor_x11.o -L/usr/X11R6/lib/X11 -lX11  -lm
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11

man gcc suggested I needed a file libX11.a

I didn't have that on my computer. I thrashed around the
internet, but didn't find anything too promising. So,
I looked at my other, even older linx box, which hasn't
been upgraded for five  years. It had libX11.a. So, I put
that into the proper directory, and now it works.

Ahh.

Now I can make pretty color bar graphs on my X-terminal
showing the murder rate in Baltimore.

Thanks for the help.
