Struggling to install RDesktop 1.4.1

I'm running out of options installing RDesktop 1.4.1. I know 1.6 is the most recent version, but I want to audit MS terminal servers without running Windows XP in a vm and I know 1.4.1 and 1.5 are the only versions that have patches allowing brute force attempts.

I have X11 installed. I then download RDesktop...

tar -xvf rdesktop-1.4.1.tar
cd rdesktop-1.4.1
./configure
make

...this is where I get a make error 1


ld: library not found for -lX11
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [rdesktop] Error 1


During the ./configure I notice I'm missing a lot of header files...


checking for struct statfs.f_namelen... no
checking for struct statvfs.f_namelen... no

...which leads me to assume I'm missing some x11lib. I hop into xcode and reinstall x11sdk and still nothing.

I have also installed fink and tried

sudo apt-get install x11lib-dev

and it cannot find that package. I the x11lib-dev might not be right but I cannot find the website that used that command, but I'm sure I got it right when I was on that website. I also did an apt-get update and did the same thing with fink to update the packages on both ends. Still no luck. Also I have the unstable packages available as well.

I've been going at this for two days now and still no luck. Any help at all is greatly appreciated!
