Another approach would have been to copy over the existing debian/
directory from the Debian source package to build a proper .deb after
you have untarred the source. But this requires a little experience
with building Debian packages.

It's libx11-dev. If you add deb-src entries to your sources.list file
and run "apt-get update", you can see which packages are needed to build
binary packages from source by running "apt-cache showsrc":
,----
| $ apt-cache showsrc scid | grep ^Build-Depends:
| Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7.0.50~), tcl8.5-dev, tk8.5-dev, zlib1g-dev,
libx11-dev, dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.0)
`----
While debhelper and dpkg-dev are only necessary to build a Debian
package, the others are required to compile scid.

This is normal on Debian.

There is checkinstall, which might do the job good enough. The proper
way would be to "debianise" the source as outlined above.
