Unable to build splashy or fbsplash

I'm following the two wiki guides for splashy and fbsplash to the letter, but I'm getting essentially the same error when I try to compile either of them:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lxxxxx
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Is there something that I need to do in addition to what the wiki pages say?

Here's my attempt at compiling fbsplash:

And here's the last few lines of splashy:

Re: Unable to build splashy or fbsplash

Have you seen this thread?

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=48978

It's an awesome splashy rewrite by a member of our community that works well for most people (me included).
