Error install lessTif

Hi all,
I would like to install lesstif-0.95.2 on a RHEL Client release 5.1 system. ./configure gives me this error message:

"The development package for the X Window System is required to compile LessTif, must be at least X11r5."

I downloaded and installed these rpms:

x11r6-contrib-6.8.2-77311cl.i386.rpm
libxaw8-6.8.2-77311cl.i386.rpm
xorg-x11-libs-common-6.8.2-77311cl.i386.rpm

./configure still gives me the same error message.
Any help? Thanks.
Austin-

You need packages with -devel suffixes in their names. In fedora we have:

BuildRequires: libXp-devel libXt-devel libXext-devel 
BuildRequires: freetype-devel fontconfig-devel
# lynx is used to transform html in txt
BuildRequires: lynx
# for tests
BuildRequires: libGLw-devel
BuildRequires: bitmap-devel
