[b]/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXmu
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

For the last two lines, there is an error for: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find –lXmu.[/b]
I have no idea where to go. I would be grateful for any help you could provide.

for Debian: apt-get install libxmu-dev
for Mandriva: urpmi libXmu-devel

Don’t remember the command for other distros. Google for it and for the package name.

Tip : search tis error mesage on google you will find lots of solutions, only trick is to put quotes around the -Xmu, like this :

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find “-lXmu”

Good tip! Knew about minus search negation. Didn’t know about quote escape.

And the quotes just needed to keep Google from interpreting the leading minus as a search negation (i.e. make sure it “doesn’t” match this).

Thank you so much. I do like this:

yum install libXmu-devel

and now it works! o(∩_∩)o
