Jarrod, I don't know what distro you run, and I only occasionally build from source, but I can tell you that what usually does it for me with Mandrake is to install the -devel RPM that matches the software that configure complained about. In your case (and pretending that you run Mandrake 9.0), you would want to make sure XFree86-devel-4.2.1-3mdk.i586.rpm is installed. Generally, with RPM based distros like Mandrake and RedHat, they package the header files needed to compile stuff separate from the main software package, in a -devel RPM.
