You may not have the XFree86-devel package installed.  This is a
requirement for compiling and linking any X11 application.  Try:

            rpm -q XFree86-devel

on the (unix) command line to check.  If it's not installed, install it
(from CD if needed) via:

            rpm -Uvh /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/XFree86-devel-4.3.0-2.rpm

or equivalent (the path and filename may be slightly different).

If I missed a reply from Eric about this issue, sorry; I'm struggling
through about 800 new messages after being away for two weeks!
