Well, there are several possibilities. The first possibility
is that you haven't installed the necessary X development package
that includes the headers.

The second possiblity is that the configure test for X failed
for some reason, and because of that, the compilation flags
are not being set correctly. If this is the case, the relevant
error messages will appear in the file called 'config.log' which
was created when you ran configure.
