	I had the same problem because I had the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable set to the Open Windows libraries directory.

	When you compile an application, the dynamic link editor
will try to use the Open Windows X libraries. You must unset the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH before compiling so the link editor will use the
standard X libraries.

	To be sure, you can use the ldd command which shows which
dynamic libraries will be used during the execution of the
program.
