Hi all...

Just compiled povray-3.50c on my debian linux box and notized 
the following: 

----------<snip>---------
checking for size_t... yes
checking whether time.h and sys/time.h may both be included... yes
checking whether struct tm is in sys/time.h or time.h... time.h
checking for working memcmp... no
checking return type of signal handlers... void
checking for strftime... no
checking for strftime in -lintl... no
checking for vprintf... no
checking for getcwd... no
checking for gettimeofday... no
------------------------

The last line definitively made me suspicious. 

The problem begins when detecting -lX11: For X11 detection 
the linker path -L/usr/X11R6/lib is passed but it is omitted for 
all future calls to gcc. The following patch fixes this problem:
