automake 1.5 & gtk 2.0?

[Skip Montanaro <skip pobox com>]

James Henstridge posted on the pygtk list a day or two ago that we should
upgrade to automake 1.5, I think because it contains the stuff he used to
have to patch into place.  I went ahead and installed it.  Now running
autogen.sh in my gtk+.cvs directory (tracking the latest changes to gtk+)
spews tons of messages like

    I am going to run ./configure with no arguments - if you wish 
    to pass any to it, please specify them on the ./autogen.sh command line.

and ends with

    checking for XOpenDisplay in -lX11... no
    configure: error: *** libX11 not found. Check 'config.log' for more details.

    Now type 'make' to compile Gtk+.

Typing 'make' yields:

    make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

Something is clearly hosed (libX11 is in the usual place, make worked a few
days ago).  Any feedback appreciated...

Thx,
