Comment 1 for bug 755937

The ./configure script aborts with "...Can't find X includes...", but this is misleading; the script finds the X11 include files, but not the X11 libraries, because its list of path prefix possibilities does not contain multi-arch paths e.g. /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/

This problem is present in natty and oneiric.

Perhaps what is needed is to run autoconf, or autoreconf, but these commands are failing with messages e.g. "...AC_LANG_COMPILER: unknown language: AC_LANG".
