I believe that you would need to search for x11-devel (no spaces), but I am not sure if I am remembering this correctly at the moment.

Your problem building must be caused by the X11 stuff being in an unexpected place. the best approach is to regularize your setup, not to try and figure out a clever way around the problem. Let's work on your development during your visit to Boulder in June.
