Did the last line got cut off?

/etc/ld.so.conf is only relevant for running binaries; not for compiling
them.

The linker looks for libX11.so (not libX11.so.version); make sure it is a
symlink to an existing libX11.so.version .

If that doesn't help, add a '-v' to the compiler invocation to see the exact
arguments with which ld gets called.
