Do you have the kernel-source RPM installed?

P> The second one : a fatal error : 

P> checking for IceConnectionNumber in -lICE... no
P> checking for XOpenDisplay in -lX11... no
P> configure: error: Could not find XOpenDisplay in -lX11.

P> Then it returns to shell.

P> I have XFree86-devel and XFree86-libs, and XFree86-libs-data libraries

P> $ rpm -q XFree86-devel
P> XFree86-devel-4.3.0-2
P> $ rpm -q XFree86-libs
P> XFree86-libs-4.3.0-2
P> $ rpm -q XFree86-libs-data 
P> XFree86-libs-data-4.3.0-2

P> My glibc is also up to date.. 

P> $ rpm -q glibc
P> glibc-2.3.2-27.9

P> I've try to ask on irc, fluxbox mailing list, googling, for several days
