[argyllcms] Compiling with jam-based archive fail

Hi,

Last night, Mike & I also tried to compile argyll from the jam-based archive 
(to see if the X problem he has comes from the autotools-based version) but 
without success.

The problem comes from the /usr/X11R6/lib/xxx.a libraries, which do not 
exist. Dont't know if it is a debian or a Xorg issue, but these files are 
now in /usr/lib/.

I added the following symbolic links:

    /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.a -> /usr/lib/libX11.a
    /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.a -> /usr/lib/libXext.a
    /usr/X11R6/lib/libXinerama.a -> /usr/lib/libXinerama.a
    /usr/X11R6/lib/libXxf86vm.a -> /usr/lib/libXxf86vm.a

but then, I get the following errors:

...failed Link pathplot ...

If I add '-lXau -lXdmcp -ldl' to the LINKLIBS var, line 269 in the Jambase 
file :

        LINKLIBS                default = -lm -lXau -lXdmcp -ldl ;

then, it compile. Why these libs are missing ?

PS: Mike, can you try to added these libes, and then compile with jam to see 
if your X problem persists?
