You might have X but probably not the X development libraries/headers, which are in a separate package(s). If RH EL3 still uses XFree86 and not X.org, then I think the main package is called XFree86-devel, and you'll probably need a few others, going by http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/redhat/8.0/i386/XFree86-devel-4.2.0-72.i386.html.
