Isn't it obvious that the libraries Xaw3d, Xpm, jpeg, > tiff, ungif, and png are missing and also all X11 libraries and C > header files? Even if it's obvious that Xaw3d is missing when `configure' says something about "-lXaw3d", the name of the Ubuntu package that one needs to download is quite clearly NOT obvious. Now, if `configure' would say something like Xaw3d library not found, suggest to download xaw3dg-dev package _then_ it would have been obvious. Can we please look at this from the OP's point of view, instead of demonstrating how much smarter we-all are? That way, we might actually learn how to improve Emacs, in addition to being nice and helpful.
