gnuplot 4.x not using X libraries

[Joel Hammer]

Thanks. I found those directories and fed them to configure, which said
it would include the X windows system. However, during make I get these
errors:

gplt_x11.c:129: X11/Xos.h: No such file or directory
gplt_x11.c:130: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory
gplt_x11.c:131: X11/Xresource.h: No such file or directory
gplt_x11.c:132: X11/Xutil.h: No such file or directory
gplt_x11.c:133: X11/Xatom.h: No such file or directory
gplt_x11.c:134: X11/keysym.h: No such file or directory
gplt_x11.c:143: X11/cursorfont.h: No such file or directory

And, it's true, I don't have those files on my system, except for Xlib.h
which is in odd places like:

/disks/lindowsos/usr/speakeasy/lib/Tk/pTk/Xlib.h
/usr/include/nvu-1.0PR/widget/nsIDragSessionXlib.h
/usr/lib/perl5/Tk/pTk/Xlib.h

So, it seems my current X Windows doesn't use those
libraries, or, are they called something else?
