Looking for X11 libraries is not new -- it has always been there.
However, if no X11 headers or libraries is found, the build should
still progress -- the only think that would happen is that the parts
that depend on X11 will not be built.  You'll still have a fully
functional interpreter and compiler.

If you still have the config.log around, I would like to have a look at it
because this is alarming and would be a serious OpenAxiom regression.

Ah, that is a very thorny issue.   There seems to be no complete reliable
way to test for Xpm.


For the automated ECL testing, I would suggest to configure with

      --without-x

until I figured a far more robust test.


Thanks for the feddback.
