Try these:

X_INCLUDES = /usr/include
X_LIBS = -L /usr/include -lX11

You can also override the faulty configure script values and point
directly at these paths with the -x-includes and -x-libraries
flags.

I didn't test these settings so you may need to experiment a little.
But essentially you can find the paths you're looking for by checking
out the contents on the libX11-devel package, which you should
already have.
