Hello,

When I try to to compile a very simple program I get the error
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find IX11
Error while linking

I checked my fpc.cfg for the lib paths
#-Fl/lib; /usr/lib

When I check /usr/lib I find a link to libX11.so.6 So that should be
alright
but I still have that error.

Another thing I tried is to install xorg-x11-devel.
This failed with the message
xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-31 conflicts with file from package
xorg-x11-filesystem-7.0-1  (running Fedora core 5)
(running Fedora core 5)

What else can I try to make lazarus (fpc) compile my code

Do you have /usr/lib/libX11.so?

Well, you need the an x11-devel package, did you use yum to instal it?

If this doesn't work out, yuo try to set the symlink from
/usr/lib/libX11.so to  /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 yourself.

Ok thanks that worked
I thought that the /usr/lib.libX11.so.6 was already enough.
There were some others missing as well
but after
ln -s libX11.so.6 libX11.so
ln -s libXi.so.6 libXi.so
ln -s libXext.so.6 libXext.so
I finally have my first hello world in Linux
