Cannot get TK 8.4.5 to install on RH Linux 8.0

TK 8.4.5 will not build on Redhat 8.0. TCL 8.4.5 built and installed
without any issues. I downloaded the zip file, unzipped it, and
untarred it. Then followed the README installation procedure. I also
tried 8.3.5 with the same results. X windows is installed on the
computer and works fine.

Per the README the process is ./configure, make, make install.

I am not sure what is going on, but make gives this error message:
/home/robot/tcl/tk8.4.5/generic/tk.h:96:29: X11/Xlib.h: No such file
or directory

This code section is from tk.h and includes line 96. The comments
preceding this section state that is is for Window or Mac
installations. Also, since line 96 is commented out why is it even
being looked at?
<PRE>
#ifndef RC_INVOKED

#ifndef _XLIB_H
# if defined (MAC_TCL)
# include <Xlib.h>
# include <X.h>
# elif defined(MAC_OSX_TK)

# include <X11/X.h>
# else
# include <X11/Xlib.h> ;# line 96
# endif
#endif
#ifdef __STDC__
# include <stddef.h>
#endif
</PRE>

This is the output from ./configure, and make

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
