Hi Guo,

you are missing X11 development packages:

> ../xwd2ps.h:53:22: warning: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory

On Redhat based systems you can use yum utility to find out which RPM provides the missing files.
Usually you need to look for packages that have ‘-devel' in their name since those are the ones providing development headers.
For example on my Scientific Linux install I get these results when looking for *X11/Xlib.h:

[devenv@localhost ~]$ yum provides *X11/Xlib.h
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit, security
ESS-custom/filelists                                     | 6.3 kB     00:00     
codac4.1-deps/filelists                                  |  64 kB     00:00

Hope that helps!
