Find if config.log the exact place where "checking for XOpenDisplay" 
happens - in my case it looks like this:

configure:31890: checking for XOpenDisplay
.

Then determine whether it's include file check or linking check - I guess
the latter, but verify this. This is clear from config.log contents.

Then most likely you'll need to use CPPFLAGS and/or LDFLAGS to direct
'configure' to the needed places, i.e. to either to the include files or
to libraries to be linked with.
