What were you trying to do?
Compile and link a test program:
athena% gcc -c foo.c
athena% gcc foo.o -lX11
What's wrong:
It compiled but failed to link.
What should have happened:
It should have failed to compile (not found X11/Xlib.h) or
successfully linked (found libX11.a or .so).
Other:
The issue is really that the X development files should either
be considered part of the system, in which case the libraries
should be available in /usr/lib, or not, in which case the
headers should not be available in /usr/include.
