That is exactly what I did, and it came up with the error regarding the
dir's not found,ie


    X11/Xlib.h
    X11/Xutils.h
    X11/Xatom.h
    X11/keysym.h
    X11/Xresource.h
    X11/cursorfont.h

It then says: make: *** [xisp.o] Error 1
 there is obviously a package I have missed, but what ?

Thanks
