Can compile 1.5, but 1.3 is missing X libraries

This is really bizarre. I can compile 1.5 under Debian Etch (testing as of 2 days ago) using gcc-3.4, but I cannot get 1.3 to compile using gcc-3.3. It goes all the way to the end and complains about not having a bunch of references to xlibs. Is 1.5 linking to different X libraries than 1.3? I installed all the xorg dev libs I could find in synaptics and any others I thought might be the culprits. I looked at the make files and they are nearly the same. For 1.3 I added the call to find the font libraries, but it did not help. The 1.3 version was what I was compiling under Debian Sarge and it was working fine. Did Debian pull the compatible libraries? Am I not linking some library right?

Thanks,
Frank

    Cruuuuuuuud! Why do I find this after I ask!!!

    In conf.UNIX.mk at the bottom:
    LINK.LIBS.RELEASE = 
LINK.LIBS.DEBUG   =
    Add these library references:
    LINK.LIBS.RELEASE = -lXft
LINK.LIBS.DEBUG   = -lXft

    Maybe some one knows someone else will need this and makes me find it so I can post it for them. That is the only thing that makes sense.

    I just found out why this happens! Some bastage named Murphy has been living in my basement for years! I went down there to kick his horse, but as luck would have it I fell down the stairs and he got away. Then I get a call from the police saying I had broken the law. I said what law are you talking about? He said I broke, "Murphy's Law". Who the heck is this guy?!
