Thanks for your feedback.

The issue in my case was just that I missed to clean up some debugging code 
that I injected into an *.mk file while trying to track down the issue (awks). 
Ultimately, the hint from Kushal did it for me - as far as I can tell, 
libX11-devel was missing.

Thanks again for all the quick replies!

probably tell you what fedora devel packages you are missing.

Also, you might need to be using "gnome classic" (it is a session option below 
your login prompt") to be using X11 programs. Again, installing 
gnome-classic-session will probably bring in everything you need, if you do not 
have x11 already. The default gnome shell is wayland - I don't use it as it 
does not work well on my hardware.
