This should be detected automatically. How do you run configure? On a 64-bit linux you will get:

./configure
.(pcsalo) [137] ./configure
Configuring for linuxx8664gcc
Checking for GNU Make version >= 3.79.1 ... ok

Checking for C compiler ... gcc
Checking for C++ compiler ... g++
Checking for linker (LD) ... g++
Checking for F77 compiler ... gfortran

Checking for libX11 ... /usr/lib64

Checking for X11/Xlib.h ... /usr/include
Checking for X11/Xft/Xft.h ... /usr/include
Checking for X11/extensions/shape.h ... /usr/include
Checking for libXpm ... /usr/lib64

Checking for libXft ... /usr/lib64
Checking for libXext ... /usr/lib64

Cheers, Fons.
