Compiling source packages in debian is a sensitive issue. Whenever possible, go by your distros packages, than compiling your own.

You are missing X11 development headers here.

I think its called libx11-dev. Install it via your package manager.

Try and see if X shared memory is activated in your Xorg.conf

No worries,
