Have added an entry to the NetBSD X documentation at
	http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/x/index.html#compile_basic

	It should show up within the next hour or so:



Compile fails to link: Undefined symbol '_XOpenDisplay' (top)

If it is a third party item of software, you should check if a version is
available via the NetBSD packages collection. If you are writing you own
code you need to ensure you link against the necessary X libraries. In
this case, add -lX11 to the end of your link line.
