Thomas,

We have a machine here running FC5, with X11 libraries in the usual /usr/X11R6 
location.
You do always have to ensure that you have installed a development environment
(eg headers and libraries are installed) and not just a runtime environment.
Also, you will need to install openmotif, which commonly isn't installed.

Please provide your build error messages that indicate which X11 
headers/libraries are
not installed on your system.
