i installed X from binaries too, and had a similar problem
with blackbox not being able to find the X includes/libs (at first),
but all i had to do was to tell ./configure where they were
with --x-include= and --x-libraries= and it worked great:
and today, i installed cygwin on another Win2k machine,
using the binary X & source blackbox. with the small
modification to i18n.hh, it all went smoothly.
that's why i like blackbox... it's hard not to get it
working correctly. :)
