Autoconf can't find X11 libraries

[anatoly techtonik]

Hi,

In this build on Ubuntu x86_64 autoconf is unable to find X11
libraries:
    https://travis-ci.org/techtonik/PDCurses/builds/101477536
However, it works with explicit configure option
    --x-libraries=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
    https://travis-ci.org/techtonik/PDCurses/builds/101506738

It looks like the problem is PDCurses specific
http://askubuntu.com/questions/539574/how-to-install-xaw-package-with-header-files/578003
probably because people rarely use Xaw. Anyway, how to fix
it? Is it an autoconf bug?

Please, CC.

You can get around it by doing:

./configure --x-libraries=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

but perhaps a more elegant solution exists?
