Note that X is in /usr/X11R6, not /usr/X11, so your link option shoudl
read -L/usr/X11R6/lib.

You need -I/usr/X11R6/include as well.  -I is for headers and is used
during the compile step, -L is for libraries and is used during the
link step.  Your commandline is a direct source-to-executable command,
so it requires both.

Hi

It didn't work. X is installed, and libX is in place.

gcc simple-drawing.c -o simple-drawing -L/usr/X11R6/lib -l/usr/X11R6/include
simple-drawing.c:7:22: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory
simple-drawing.c:23: error: syntax error before "create_simple_window"
simple-drawing.c:23: error: syntax error before '*' token
(...)

I have this on the c file:
#include <X11/Xlib.h>

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>             /* getenv(), etc. */
#include <unistd.h>             /* sleep(), etc.  */

I don't understand. It should work...

Any help greatly appreciated.
TIA to all
Henry
