I dont know if this will help but do you have the X11 header files
(Xlib.h etc) installed on your system?   Typically they will be
installed in 

 /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xlib.h

If not you might need to install the rpm for this package.  I dont
know about Mandrake but the package must be a "dev" or "devel" package
related to X11.  Under Debian its called xlibs-dev.

To eliminate the warning message you might want to add -Wno-deprecated
to the CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS.
