You say "looks like"... well, are they actually there?
In other words, do you ave a libX11.a or libX11.so?

Try the following (sorry about the line wrapping):

{apg}~ : ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1500240 Feb 12 2004 /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Dec 13 09:55 /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so -> 
libX11.so.6.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Dec 13 09:54 /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6
-> libX11.so.6.2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 908376 Feb 12 2004 /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.2

If that works, then I'm stumped:  the configure script should
really find it.  The workaround in this event is to follow the
instructions provided by configure, in other words, to use

./configure --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib
