developer's libs missing?



Greetings folks! [Apologies for not returning after winter break; my
senior project is taking too much of time.]

I am trying to compile plex86 on my Debian unstable system with XFree86
4.0.2-7, kernel 2.4.2 SMP (on dual celerons), glibc 2.2.2-1. I get an
error message saying it cannot find libX11 [1].

I asked on the plex86 list if I was missing an obvious library since I
thought I had all the right packages installed. I think the xlibs-dev
package is missing some required header files: specifically, libX11.h.
$ dpkg -L xlibs-dev  | grep -i libx11
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.a
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so

Shouldn't there be some header files included with this package? If I
missed a package, could someone swing the clue-bat this direction and
help me out? Thanks. :)
