need help compiling program that uses glx

ok, i have a small program I'm tying to compile, it uses 2 glx functions (glxChooseVisual) and no other opengl or glx/glu/glut functions, but i cant get it to compile, the eror is here:

Code:

/tmp/cc0x3T5l.o(.text+0x107): In function `funct_1':

: undefined reference to `glxChooseVisual'

/tmp/cc0x3T5l.o(.text+0x12a): In function `funct_1':

: undefined reference to `glxChooseVisual'

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

heres the command i use

Code:

gcc main.c -o test -lGL -lX11

the funny thing is, i had another opengl program (one that used glxChooseVisual and actual opengl to draw some triangles), the same compile command worked on it (both programs are on the same computer, and same everything), but in this new one, i cant get it to get past that error. any ideas?

try
gcc -o foo main.c -I/usr/X11R6/include -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lglut -lGL -lGLU -lX11 -lXmu -lXi -lm

hmm, nope, still same error :(

The X in the function name should be uppercase.

thanks Harmaa Kettu!, compiled perfectly.
