I've found libX11.so.6 in /usr/X11R6/lib
I've tried again to run ./configure with the following parameters:

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

it makes no differences, the error message is the same.

About the binary distribution: there is a ddd-3.3.8 distribution for
Mandrake 10.0 on rpmfind.net, but nothing for 10.1...

Thanks in advance for any other suggestions.
