make failed with ld error... [SOLVED]

hello!

I try to upgrade kchmviewer to version 1.3, but make failed with ld error:

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

But libXext.so is here!

$ locate Xext
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6.4
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.a
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/extensions/panoramiXext.h
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/extensions/Xext.h

$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf
#
# /etc/ld.so.conf
#

/usr/X11R6/lib
/opt/gnome/lib
/opt/qt/lib
/opt/xfce4/lib
#/usr/lib/oracle/10.1.0.2/client/lib
/opt/mono/lib
/opt/mozilla/lib/firefox

So I'm alittle confused... Why ld can't find it?

/etc/ld.so.conf is not used for compiling stuff.  Probably the configure script has an option where you can specify the lib's location.

Thanks a lot guys!
You helps me to find some way! I danced a newby jig around Makefile and now kchmviewer updated.

/* Hope, PKGBUILD is alright */
