Thanks for the bug report:

Typo in the Readme:

make product   // not pcl6

main/pcl6_gcc.mak

XINCLUDE=-I/usr/X11R6/include
XLIBDIRS=-L/usr/X11R6/lib

These need to match your system, seems the old way of doing /usr/X11/* 
with a symbolic link was discarded by linux providers.  This either 
needs to be edited or we need to support a tool to do so like configure. 

The compiler usually warns about not being able to find the X11 headers 
giving a clue.



PCL expects CR and LF like MSDOS
-------fooLFbar
:==
-------foo
-----------bar


-----fooCRbar
:==
bar--foo


Best Regards,
Stefan
