I have installed Slackware 3.1 but the loader (ld) cannot find
the X11 library:

  >gcc -o foo foo.c -lX11
  /usr/i486-linux/bin/ld: cannot open -lX11: No such file or directory

However, when I explicitly give the library path it is fine:

  >gcc -o foo foo.c -L/usr/X11/lib -lX11

Could someone tell me where the loader gets its default search
path from?

Thanks

Exactly which script is used is based on some strange criteria which I
don't understand but I think relate to whether you are making a static
execuatable, a dynamicly linked executable, an object file, a shared
library or so on.
