As Rafael just noted, the default Makefile in the synaptics source uses /usr/X11R6/lib64 when /bin/arch returns x86_64. This is actually exactly what I was doing (compiling synaptics from source) when I noticed the missing link... I'm not sure, but I believe the nvidia installer from nvidia.com also uses /usr/X11R6/lib64. Of course, neither of these examples pertain to debianized source trees, so I guess the responsibility for creating the link rests with the user.... -Ted
