Help Needed: Error while linking

Hi, heard about this project today, cant believe I hadent heard about
it before! Anyway I'm installing it on Debian using alienized rpm's
and after reading around a bit and solving a few different problems,
I've almost got it working. The only problem I'm now getting is that
on trying to compile something it gives out this error
TOutputFilter: "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11"
TOutputFilter: "project1.lpr(15) Error: Error while linking"
TOutputFilter: "Closing script ppas.sh"

I'm guessing that it has something to do with the correct X11
development packages either not being installed, or being in a
different localion and needing a link to them, but I'm not sure. What
such packages does Lazarus require , and where does it look for them
in?

Or  am I wrong, and is their another cause for this?

I would appreciate any help anyone can offer.

Thanks

Full output of what i'm getting:

thanks, I thought it was something like that. All seems to be working
now.

Isn't it possible to use the shared libraries?
What to change in the makefile to accomplish this?
