Try (Bourne shell):

CPPFLAGS='-I/usr/X11/include -I/usr/local/include'
LDFLAGS='-Wl,-R/usr/X11/lib -L/usr/X11/lib -Wl,-R/usr/local/lib
-L/usr/local/lib' ./configure --x-includes=/usr/X11/include
--x-libraries=/usr/X11/lib

That should about cover it. Almost all configure scripts recognize and
save CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS. A few of the generated Makefiles may not
use the CPPFLAGS where appropriate. You can edit those.

You should have -llibfoo for every library that's referenced, even
indirectly. Sometimes it works like magic without it, but the
insurance is cheap.
