Linux 386 Install Does Not Find -lX11 Or -lXext

[David L. Craig]

Still attempting to install the updated inferno tarball as discussed in this topic, I invoked mk nuke && mk install once again on my Debian Sid platform.  It got much further, but then went looking for libX11.so and libXext.so without success:

(cd /usr/inferno/lib9 ; mk SHELLTYPE=sh SYSTARG=Linux OBJTYPE=386 install)

Do I need to teach mk to tweak its ld -L configuration, play games with libtool before invoking mk install, or something else altogether?

[smacks forehead, hard] I will now install the 32-bit versions and retry the install. [blush]

The mk install has completed nominally.
