Description paolo borelli 2011-05-29 17:20:33 UTC 
I am on fedora 15 x86_64 but I also installed the .i686 devel packages since I also need to create i686 binaries.

When compipling for 32 bit I get errors like:

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib64/libX11.so when searching for -lX1
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib64/libXext.so when searching for -lXext

Looking in /usr/lib I can see that there is libX11.so.6 but not the libX11.so symlink. In /usr/lib64 there are both.

Don't know what version you have installed,but I suspect that if the system is looking for libX11 in /usr/lib64 your linker flags are broken?
