compiler problem

I have this little convenience program I like to use called setnumlock.  
It can be found/downloaded at 
http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/cg_x11numlock.html.  I've used it on 
every FC release since FC2.  It will set numlock at login.
When I try to install it with FC4t2, I get this error;
# make
gcc  -L/usr/X11R6/lib Numlock.o -o setnumlock -lX11 -lXtst
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [program] Error 1

According to the README file with setnumlock, you need the C compiler 
(series d, package gcc)  and the include files of the X libraries 
(package xdevel, series x).
I did #yum install gcc and this is the return.
# yum install gcc

I'm assuming that gcc is already installed.  Is this correct?  If I do 
#yum install xdevel, this is the return;

# yum install xdevel

Okay.... given that I'm somewhat ignorant with yum, please accomodate my 
ignorance, and give me some advice on what I need to do.
Thanks,
