From my DOS, OS/2 and Windows experiences, I am hesitant to mess with path variables in principle, let alone with X libraries.
Any help out there in path land?
Judging from the look of your prompt above I'd guess you're running configure as root, is that right? If you are, don't! configure and compile as user, and only su to root to run "make install". If that doesn't help, make sure you have the package xdevel installed. As for why your configure refused to run before, you were probably trying to run it from a partition that was mounted "noexec", which means that no programs may be run from there. If you had explicitly specified "exec" as a mount option you could have run it from there.
