I just recently switched from Apple's X11 to plain ol' XDarwin (for full-screen mode and better window manager support, among other things), and predictably enough now I'm having some issues. I can't install any new X-windows applications, because either they get all sorts of horrible compilation errors involving includes that don't exist or explicitly tell me that the path to X11 cannot be found. I'm assuming this means that either some environment variable is set incorrectly or I need a symlink somewhere there isn't one. Could someone who's knowledgeable tell me what might be going on here? Reinstalling the entire lot from scratch is currently not an option, because it's finals week and therefore not the best time to be doing things like moving stuff to other drives and nuking boot partitions.

Thanks!
