Well, try doing exactly what it asks you to.
"./configure --help | less" to see how to pass it to configure script.

You may well be in slack-9.1 but you did not install developemt stuff did
you.
Answer to you poorly informational question is, install the X include
files from you source "x" directory then try again and please next time
you want help be more spesific.

you do know that slack 9.1 comes with kde3, and that kde3 and qt3 libraries
are not compatible with kde2 and qt2 libraries? so without installing the
necessary libraries, you can't compile kapitalist.

again, you're not giving enough information. './configure --help' should
*always* work. if it doesn't, something is seriously wrong. so at the very
least tell us what happens when you give that command.

if your english isn't too good, that is not a problem. but you need to
provide more information, cut and paste the relevant parts of the screen
output, etc.

Slackware doesn't have any quirks. Other distros have quirks. Slackware's
just pure Linux.

Assuming you know where the headers are, try setting CPPFLAGS=-I /usr/local
include/X11 or wherever they are before running configure.

Then you should have all X includes
hmm ...
Have you (successfully) compiled anything else
like perhaps MPlayer or something like that ?

Never tried that... running twm :-)

It's not supposed to solve any problems
or anything, it's just there to provide you with
a little bit of help i.e. what options you can pass to
../configure
Perhaps the script's test for X-includes is broken.
If that's the case, it usually helps to pass
something like
../configure --with-x --with-x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include
but you have to consult
../configure --help | less
(scroll with arrow-up arrow-down press q to quit)
to see which options it accepts.

I had a similar error a while ago. The problem was that I used the code
caching utility that's distributed with Slack as the default CC and CXX.
Bad, bad, bad. That's what caused the errors. Turning that off got
everything working again.
