Hi All,

   This is Mallik. I am new to Linux and Lazarus.

   I installed Red Hat Enterprise Linux3 in VMWARE and I installed
these
   rpm files.

       fpc-2.2.2rc2-20080722.i386.rpm
       fpc-src-2.2.2rc2.20080722.i386.rpm
       lazarus-0.9.25-20080722.i386.rpm

   I got installed lazarus delphi Programming->More Programming
Tools->Lazarus Delphi.

   I tried to run hello world programme. I am getting this problem.

        /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11
        Error: Error while linking

   From last 3 days I am trying to solve this one but no progress. I
added library paths in compile project options also.

    Please help me.


Have a great day.

It's in the FAQ:

You need to install libX11-dev or something similar.
