asterisk users - Jan 2004 - Help with compiling

I have some problems when trying to install Asterisk on Mandrake.

gcc -shared -Xlinker -x -o pbx_gtkconsole.so pbx_gtkconsole.o `gtk-config --libs
gthread`
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-slackware-linux/3.2.3/../../../../i486-slackware-linux/bin/ld:
cannot find -lXext
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [pbx_gtkconsole.so] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/asterisk/pbx'
make: *** [subdirs] Error 1


What is this? :/

Um, why do you have Slackware libraries installed on a Mandrake
machine?  The answer you're looking for is that you don't have the X
libraries installed, but you may have worse problems.  You really need
to think about keeping your machine binaries consistent.  Things tend
not to work correctly if you don't.
