So, it's somehow deciding that the X11 libs must be in /usr/local/lib, 
even though it correctly finds the headers in /usr/X11R6/include. Still 
a little mysterious. Perhaps there's an autoconf bug; this is 
AC_PATH_XTRA, the standard macro everyone uses, not something we wrote 
ourselves. Are there any X11 libraries installed in /usr/local/lib that 
could be confusing it?
