X11 libs not found

I've run into this a few times - Some programs, more often than not non-Debian stuff, can't find libraries in /usr/X11/lib. For example, I installed teTeX from binaries I already had and couldn't run xdvi. Now I compiled some Xforms demos with FPK-pascal and they can't find libX11 or libfo
