Hi Jeffery,

From mac/INSTALL:

  If you are building Emacs to run on Mac OS X and X Window, you need
  to create a directory containing statically-linked X libraries.

    sudo mkdir /usr/X11R6/libstatic
    cd /usr/X11R6/libstatic
    sudo ln -s ../lib/lib*.a ../lib/X11 .

  Instead of typing `./configure' above, type

  ./configure --without-carbon --with-x --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/libstatic

I do not have more details because I do not run X Window on my Macs.
Of course you can always post to the newsgroups and perhaps others can
help.

Andrew.

P.S. I am phasing out the use of the two mailing lists mac-emacs-users
and mac-emacs-devel at SourceForge.  For questions like this, please
consider posting to the gnu.emacs.help newsgroup for help.  For other
matters related to Emacs for Mac OS X, see the suggestions on
http://members.shaw.ca/akochoi-emacs/ on where to send them.  Thanks.
