Dear All,

I'm supposed to obtain the X11 library in the cygwin setup and all the 
related binaries under the X11 folder during the configuration from
cygwin download terminal. BUt I never get X11.dll or X11.a files after 
download and installation. 

Actually this X11 dependecy arises when I try to compile the Petsc library 
I don't know where Petsc uses X11 libraries but requires it during 
compilation. If it'S not provided then the following errors are are reported

Your help will be appreciated,

undefined reference to `XSetForeground'
