However xorg-dev appears to be the main source of trouble.

I don't understand you here either ...  motif?

But with the xorg-dev pkg installed ./configure ends in another error
of a different kind.  I'm not sure if it something that must be fixed

Looking at that area of the file, I don't really see which `;' is out
of place.
