It seems the linker can't find the libX11 library to link against. Your reply about 'locate crti.o' gave me an idea. I did the following... $ locate libX11.so /usr/lib/libX11.so /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 /usr/lib/libX11.so.6.2.0 /usr/lib32/libX11.so.6 <-- missing unversioned libX11.so /usr/lib32/libX11.so.6.2.0 I noticed the "unversioned" libX11.so is missing from the /usr/lib32/ directory. I manually added a symbolic link and it solved the linking -lX11 problem, but then prompted about -lXft. I did a another locate and it had the same problem. Added another "unversioned" symbolic for libXft.so and now my project successfully links!!! :-) Thanks for getting me onto the right track. What location in the wiki will be appropriate for such information, in case somebody else gets stuck with cross-compiling and a similar linking problem? I used packages.ubuntu.com to search for packages that contain libX11.so. I noticed that only from Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) does the ia32-libs include the unversioned symbolic link. I made a mistake in my original post, I am actually running Ubuntu 8.04.2 (Hardy) 64-bit.
