Providing the --x-includes, etc. means that configure
will assume it's actually there... but the compile
errors indicate that it probably isn't.
Are you certain the include files are in /usr/X11R6/include?
If you're using a package-based linux system, make sure
you've got the package with the headers installed. Most
distributions package the libraries and headers seperately
(for instance, RedHat puts them in XFree86-devel).
