Hello!

I think you're missing a lot of software in your SuSE Linux PC! Just 
look at all these "no"s! The above cited lines tell that configure did 
not recognize your X11 installation. You claim, and configure found 
/usr/X11R6/{lib,include}, but then configure can't find X11R6 nor 
X11R5.

I'm not a SuSE Linux expert: I think you've forgotten to install tons 
of development packages. I remember that at least some Linuxen have the 
'proper' package plus one with the corresponding C header files, so one 
holds the binaries and libraries you need for your daily life, and the 
other package has those files you'll only need when you develop or 
compile software that uses functions from the aforementioned libraries.
