It seems that RHEL5.6 contains a too old version of XRandR:

Adding --disable-randr to the configure flags succeeds.
you'd need to look at the config.log to see why it couldn't use the
Xrandr.h.
perhaps some package is missing that we don't explicitly check for.
However, I see the following error in the configure output:
The variable COMMON_BUILD_TOOLS is set to: $SRC_ROOT/external/common
Use of uninitialized value in string eq at ./set_soenv line 1987.
The variable TMPDIR is set to: /tmp
seems to be this test:
if ( $ENV{"TMPDIR"} eq "" ) {
ToFile( "TMPDIR", "/tmp", "e" );
} else {
ToFile( "TMPDIR", "$ENV{'TMPDIR'}", "e" );
}
perhaps somebody who knows Perl could rewrite this so it doesn't give a
spurious warning...
