Undefined symbols when linking Motif programs

You get errors when linking Motif programs. The linker complains concerning undefined symbols (e.g. Ice..., Smc..., XShape..., Xpm... ) although the same Makefiles are used that worked on an older Linux system.

Libraries that are needed to link Motif programs are not found. Formerly they where searched in /usr/X11R6/lib

As remedy there are two possibilities:

Explicit specifications for all required libraries. 

        gcc -o airport -L/usr/X11R6/lib main.o dragsource.o dropsite.o \
            -lXm -lXpm -lXt -lSM -lICE -lXext -lX11 -lm

Use the linker option -rpath-link, so independent libraries are independently linked to /usr/X11R6/lib. 

        gcc -o airport -L/usr/X11R6/lib main.o dragsource.o dropsite.o \
            -lXm -Wl,-rpath-link,/usr/X11R6/lib
