On 10.3.9 here and running it just fine. You need two special extra 
options because of the strange location that somethings get installed.
--with-extraincdir=/usr/X11R6/include/ 
--with-extralibdir=/usr/X11R6/lib/
Those two should allow it to detect it just fine.
Also its useful to attach that section of your configure.log so its 
more easy to identify the problem.
