A couple problems installing 0.64 (under linux, redhat 5.2)

I'm encountering a couple problems configuring and making R 0.64 under

These problems didn't occur when I build 0.63.2
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
(1) configure generates the warning:
"configure: warning: Cannot determine how to create shared libraries.
Please set CPICFLAGS, FPICFLAGS and SHLIBLDFLAGS in `config.site'."
I'm not sure what's needed here. The only flag I use to create shared
libs is '-shared',
but adding that to config.site not make the warning go away.
(2) Apparently there are some X headers that make is not finding. Make generates the (terminal) error: " ... gcc -O3 -I../include -I../../src/include -ansi -c dataentry.c In file included from dataentry.c:24: dataentry.h:22: X11/X.h: No such file or directory dataentry.h:23: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory dataentry.h:24: X11/Xutil.h: No such file or directory dataentry.h:25: X11/keysym.h: No such file or directory dataentry.h:26: X11/cursorfont.h: No such file or directory" Any idea where these headers are on a redhat system? I can't seem to find them in any of the usual places.
Both of these are the same path problem. You need /usr/X11R6/bin in the path for configure to find xmkmf, and you need /usr/X11R6/include for the include files. Configure found X_CFLAGS = -I/usr/X11R6/include X_LIBS = -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 X_PRE_LIBS = -lSM -lICE for me once I had /usr/X11R6/bin in the path. I build on Linux remotely, and have to ensure that the X bits are in my path (when they would be automatically if I used the console, if that was not a terminal in a locked room in another building, ....
