"./configure" problem with version 21.3 in redhat 9 linux

[kroy <kroy_probe@yahoo.com>]

Hi!
This is my first post here and i hope i don not ask a stupid question, i have
realy tried to find the answer in many places. Also I am very new to Linux.

I installed an older emacs version when i installed redhat linux, but
uninstalled it with redhats "add/remove applications"
("redhat-config-packages").

The problem I am having is that when i ran:
./configure
make
make install
everything went fine (i could run emacs, but only in the terminal), but
configure did not find xwindows.
I used CFLAGS='-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -s -pipe'.

So i added --with-x11, but it still did not work.

Then i added the paths to xwindows includes and libs:
--x-include=/usr/X11R6/include and --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib

And now it found X11, but NOT rm, mkdir ...? Why does it not find these
standard commands that i have in /bin? (these are found if i remove the x11
include and lib paths):

The configure process finished:
$ CFLAGS='-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -s -pipe' ./configure
--x-include=/usr/X11R6/include/ --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/ --with-x11
