My current version is xfree-4.3.0-r2 and works fine.

the function XGetDefault seems to be standard function for X Lib and so
it is needed to link with libX11 (with a -lX11 which appears to be
missing) or with another lib that 'rewrites' this function.

This lib is present on my system :
$ locate libX11
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.a
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.2

I will write to [email protected] for more information about this
problem.

Thanks for your help, Mathieu.
