You can get a bunch of them at once if you pick the development-related groups during an install or you can do a 'yum grouplist', then 'yum groupinstall ...' for the ones you are likely to need.
Benjamin suggested that also.
But, I don't really want tons of extra stuff on my machine. And, I think that it actually worked out better; I now know the underlying problem, and how to solve it. If I would've used 'groupinstall', it would have worked, but I wouldn't have known about the missing library.
So, the next time I compile a program, I'll think back to this and realize that, most likely, I'm missing a library or somesuch.
I installed libX11-devel, then tried again to make - failed, but for a different library. I found it, installed it, 'make', and it succeeded.
Basically, I want to know how these things work.
