Thanks for the report. 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

* configure.in: Complain if X seems to be installed but no
development files were found.
