Comment # 8 on bug 1120300 from Dieter Jurzitza

Any progress here? I updated to leap 15.1 with no improvement and I looked into
the tumbleweed distribution with the same problems.
Please test what is being compiled, it simply does not work.
To circumvent the issue there is one simple addition mandatory (as readily
mentioned):

%configure 

should be replaced by

%configure --x-includes=/usr/include

Do not ask me why this is the case. As a matter of fact I can install the
distributed version and it does not work with emacs. After rebuild of the
version as distributed with leap 42.3 everything works like a charm. The same
holds true if I modify the configure - call as mentioned above.

It is giving me a hard time to understand why a broken software is being
distributed for such a long time when the solution of the issue is communicated
and so simple.

Thank you for looking into this,
best
