xscreensaver - "couldn't find X11 headers" error

Okay so I'm now trying to install xscreensaver...

the tar.gz extracts fine and i hit ./configure...
it runs a series of commands...
then i get this:

checking for X... no
configure: error: Couldn't find X11 headers/libs. Try `./configure --help'.

what do i do now LQ?
