I went through this last week with gnome. The problem is that the Makefiles are missing the -lXpm flag for some of the $x_libs variables in the Makefiles. I couldn't convince the configure script to add the -lXpm flag so I had to do it by hand to the Makefile in the directory were the compile failed. I then ran into other problems and adventually gave up after having to install about 5 or 6 addtional dev packages, etc. Good luck.
