In CVS, the configure script stops with the message You seem to be running X, but no X development libraries were found. You should install the relevant development files for X and for the toolkit you want, such as Gtk+, Lesstif or Motif. Also make sure you have development files for image handling, i.e. tiff, gif, jpeg, png and xpm. If you are sure you want Emacs compiled without X window support, pass --without-x 2007-06-20 Jan Djärv * configure.in: Complain if X seems to be installed but no development files were found. -- Johan Bockgård
