Without error messages I cannot be sure what your problem is.  But the
usual source of trouble is missing "developer" XWindows files.  The
code of XAS assumes that there is a directory

/usr/include/X11

which is usually a ln -s sort of file:

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           20 Feb 24  2004 X11 -> ../X11R6/include/X11/

primate<165>$ cd X11
/usr/include/X11
primate<166>$ ls
ap_keysym.h   cursorfont.h  keysymdef.h  ShellP.h      Xarch.h   Xdmcp.h       Xlibint.h  Xpoll.h
bitmaps/      DECkeysym.h   keysym.h     SM/           Xatom.h   XF86keysym.h  Xlocale.h  Xproto.h
Composite.h   extensions/   Object.h     StringDefs.h  Xauth.h   Xft/          Xmd.h      Xprotostr.h

Core.h        Intrinsic.h   RectObjP.h   X10.h         Xcursor/  XKBlib.h      Xos_r.h    XWDFile.h
CoreP.h       IntrinsicP.h  Shell.h      Xalloca.h     Xdefs.h   Xlib.h        xpm.h

On some systems these .h files are missing unless a X11 developers
toolkit is also installed.  AIPS needs some of them
