Here is the error message that I recieve when I run ./configure as
root:
checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please
check your installation and add the correct paths!

I'm running RedHat8.0. Please let me know if I need to provide
any other info.

Thanks.

    As the error message say you're missing X includes.
    You should have a package named something like
    Xfree86-devel on one of your CD:s.
    Maybe some Xlibrary package needs to be installed too ?

    I have the same problem.
    Here is what I found on Sourceforge support forum:

    The X includes should be on your distro CD. Lookk for
    packages with names like :
    X..something..devel

    To set your path set in your login script
    (~/.bash_profile)
    KDEDIR=path_to_kde
    QTDIR=path_to_qt
    PATH=$KDEDIR/bin:$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
    export KDEDIR QTDIR PATH

    Good luck
