Another easy fix is to export LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib into the
build environment before re-linking. This has exactly the same effect
as adding -Wl,-R/usr/X11R6/lib to the build flags, but doesn't require
re-running "configure" and rebuilding the whole thing. (Just "rm" the
binary from the build directory and run "make".) You can tell if it
worked by running "ldd" over the binary.
