Hi Elie,

The command 

yum provides \*XTest.h\*

will show what package provides the missing X11 extension:

libXtst-devel

I'm assuming that this package isn't installed on your system.  If it is, 
please let me know as we'll have to modify the X11 library path in your 
distribution's Makeinc.common configuration file.
