It's probably something wrong on our end; the "PangoX" backend
should be built as long as you have the X libraries and header files
installed:

 - Did Pango build the PangoX backend -- i.e. do you have
   $prefix/lib/libpangox-1.0.so.0.0.0 ? [ or whatever the library
   name is on your system ]

 - Do you have a $prefix/lib/pkg-config/pangox.pc file?

 - Do the contents of $prefix/lib/pkg-config/pangox.pc look sane?
   (That is, it's not an empty file.)

Thanks,
