Check if they're installed, find where, and add options to configure, such as: --x-includes=DIR X include files are in DIR --x-libraries=DIR X library files are in DIR (other options may be needed, try: ./configure --help). >> There are defaults stored in various places.  One is ~/.Xresources, > > Is not there. Probably a hint that X is not installed. But anyways, I prefer to configure things in ~/.emacs. The difference is that emacs takes the parameters from X before opening the first frame, so it's directly created with the right parameters. It processes ~/.emacs later, and you may see the frame change from the compiled-in defaults to the parameters you set in ~/.emacs at start-up. Not important, just an esthetic thing. -- __Pascal Bourguignon__
