It's trying to find  libX11.a - where the error messages complaining of
missing function calls? If you edit the Makefile (or Imakefile and then
xmkmf  or whatever) and add -L/usr/X11R6.1/lib somewhere where it will be
passed to the compiler things should improve.

have you done the extra mknod's?...

[as root]
cd  /dev
mknod acd0a b 20 0
mknod acd0c b 20 2
mknod racd0a c 20 0
mknod racd0c c 20 2

you should be able to mount it:

mount -r -t cd9660  /dev/acd0a /cdrom
