Maybe some little drawings? :-)

I'm sorry, but my experience in "programming" up to now is only in Scribus 
translations (that are not a programming...). In the past I installed 1.3.3.3 
version without trouble and I thought this time it would be the same.
I don't contest the clearity of the BUILDING file, maybe I could contest my 
intelligence... But maybe in some other fields I could be a little more 
clever... (but I have to stretch my mind to find them...).

During the installation I found some messages like this:

>>>>>
error: Qt (>= Qt 3.3) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your 
installation!
<<<<<<<

I understood the missing libraries and I installed them.
This time the message wasn't so clear to me:

>>>>>>
error: Can't find X includes. Please check your 
installation and add the correct paths!
<<<<<<<

I thought about different paths on my distribution and I didn't know what to 
do. It would be enough to know it was a normal dependency of libxorg.

So, I found the reason of the error. I installed some dev-libraries libxorg 
and afterwards some other libraries and the configure worked well.
Thanks for your patience.
