libX11.so.6 Not found

Question

I tried to make && make install package, but I get an error:

libX11.so.6 not found

Where can I get this library?

Solution 1

You need to install the libX11 package:

$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/libX11.so.6
libX11-1.3.1-3.fc13.i686

Just go

$ yum -y install libX11  

One more thing though: if you don't know how to find and install a library package, care to share why you are trying to compile a piece of software that is officially packaged for Fedora 13 in the most recent version?

$ yum info gpicview

I bet a more appropriate response would be to install libX11-devel...

You probably don't have X11 Installed. Which OS? Which Package?
