I'm trying to compile Ksirtet (tetrix) and I get an error that I don't know what it means. I got this from the config.log
------------------------------------------------------

int main() {

----------------------------------------------------

it said something "Can't find X include. check your installation and check your paths"


any help will be apreciated...

It looks you don't have X headers. They're in package XFree86-devel. Install it from your installation cd. It looks it's your first X program compilation, so it may require more packages to install. Look if you have them installed: qt-devel (or qt2-devel, qt3-devel depending on the version of QT you have) and kdebase-devel. They may be required by Ksirtet (it seems it's a kde program).

how do I do this?

rpm -q -a |grep qt
it list all qt packages. Check if you have *-devel* among them.
