  Maybe the headers have not been installed. To determine whether the 
headers are at all present, try :

  find /usr/ -name forms.h -print

  If no forms.h is found, you will have to install the headers somehow.
Maybe by installing the xforms lib from a tarball :

    http://world.std.com/~xforms/
    ftp://ncmir.ucsd.edu/pub/xforms/
    ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/xforms/
    ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/unix/X11/gui/xforms
    ftp://ftp.cs.ruu.nl/pub/XFORMS/

Maybe there is a software package for your linux distro that contains the
xforms headers. In debian, it's called libforms-dev.

  Hth,

  Etienne
