Now that you say it I remember I had them, too, it has trouble compiling
the synclient program due to missing X11 header files
(I can't install them due to version mismatch).
Either you can try to install these (in Debian it's package xlibs-dev I think).
Try installing them first, or just make the driver with
% make synaptics_drv.o
and copy it to your other X11 drivers.
For me they are in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input, there should be
a lot of other *_drv.o there, for example mouse_drv.o .
