Alan, I had the same problem and fixed it by installing XFree86-static-libs-4.2.0-10mdk (off the Mdk8.2 discs). Advice from various quarters to do -- ./configure--disable-static, make UNIX_CAN_BUILD_STATIC=0, and make UNIX_CAN_BUILD_STATIC=0 install were all to no avail. If you then have trouble with incompatible libpng as I did then install libpng3-static-devel - from RPMFind - (to match your libpng and libpng-devel) - this fixed my problem. See the recent thread "Abi 1.0.3 will not load images & the spellcheck spouts gobbledy-gook"
