You will need the development version of all these plus the one it is 
asking for, libX11-dev or what ever it is called on your system. You may 
even need more packages, but the configure code can only tell you about 
them after you resolved the first issues.

I tried to compile the 23 version of the GNU Emacs for GNUstep and 
failed with that, but that was some time ago. I did not try any 24 release.
