Yes, it'll be the development headers for X. In Ubuntu, try installing the following.
xlibs-dev libx11-dev kdebase-dev I'm sure it'll be xlibs-dev that provides what you need. The configure script won't tell you what packages you need, as it's just a generic source tarball. It isn't tailored to your particular distribution, and thus can only provide generic error messages. Is there any reason that you can't install the software from the package archives? What's the name of the software and why do you need to compile it from scratch? The average (new-to-Linux) Ubuntu user isn't going to be wanting to compile software, but instead should rely on the vast collection of software available in the package repositories.
