Build vim 7.4 with GUI support

I am trying to build vim 7.4 with GUI support but with no success in a SLES dev server in my local folder. Any help or hint is welcomed.

The configure script is executed with the following arguments:

./configure --prefix=/home/my_folder/bin/vim --enable-gui=gnome2 --with-gnome-lib=/usr/lib64

The config.log reports the following:

configure:7840: checking if X11 header files can be found
 configure:7856: gcc -c -g -O2    -I/usr/local/include conftest.c >&5
 conftest.c:17:27: fatal error: X11/Intrinsic.h: No such file or directory
 #include <X11/Intrinsic.h>
 ^
 compilation terminated.
 configure:7856: $? = 1
 configure: failed program was:
 | /* confdefs.h */
 | #define PACKAGE_NAME ""
 | #define PACKAGE_TARNAME ""
 | #define PACKAGE_VERSION ""
 | #define PACKAGE_STRING ""

 |   return 0;
 | }

I'm not familiar with SLES, but it sounds like you need the X11 development packages. This seems to be the correct package:

https://www.suse.com/LinuxPackages/packageRouter.jsp?product=desktop&version=11&service_pack=&architecture=i386&package_name=xorg-x11-libx11-devel

If you search for xorg-x11-libX11-devel in Yast, does it come up?
