Sorry if this should go to the spell-list or bug zillla but it seems like 
it is more of a system setup issue.

I am trying to compile gtk+2 and it cannot find libX11.so. This file exists 
in '/usr/X11R6/lib/' but apparently ld does not search there by default, 
doing `ld -lX11` results in an error saying the library could not be 
found. If this is the correct behavior then how is gtk+2 supposed to 
compile. If this behavior can be changed I have not founf out how to in 
the man pages. Am I missing something?

Add the directory to /etc/ld.so.conf and then run ldconfig
