libfreemheg link error

[mythtv@…]

Changeset 9329 causes a link error on my system for libfreemheg (cannot find –lXext).

Attached patch resolves it for me (although as I have no idea what I'm doing there my be a better fix)

What was the error message?

Error is:

Another way to solve this is to remove the "-lXext -lX11" lines from the makefile. It compiles cleanly then.

(Note, my fix works on Debian Stable, untested elsewhere)

Xext is installed

anaerin@mythtv:/myth/compile/mythplugins# locate Xext
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/extensions/Xext.h
