That seems strange: IIUC before 'El Capitan' FriCAS was able to
find X header using xmkmf. Maybe there was xmkmf coming from
other source?
I am thinking of good way to handle this. Just providing path
to X headers may look simple, but it seems that other system
and even older versions of Mac OS X use different path.
It seems that before 'El Capitan' the correct path to X11 on
Mac OS X was '/usr/X11R6'. In 'El Capitan' it seem to be
'/usr/X11' (but IIUC this is link to '/opt/X11'). So a single
fixed path is likely to cause trouble for other systems...
