Then you should check which libraries both emacs executables are  
using (nm can do that). It might be easier to check the output from  
the configure step whether X11 could be determined at all. (Therefore  
*I* am configuring in a shell inside GNU Emacs.)

Since you mentioned in your first eMail that you were compiling with  
GTK you should watch what your CPU is doing: there are GTK  
applications that use fontconfig, for example an xterm. Such an  
application can decide that it's not the right moment now to become  
visible and starts to rebuild fonts cache files -- it can take many  
minutes, 15 or 20 or 30 ...

The next is the use of the xft interface -- I think it's  
experimental, and so this list is not the right one to discuss  
problems with it. Somewhere inside this distribution you'll find some  
hints which list is right, hopefully.
