I have no idea what is going wrong here, but from looking at the configure
script this one should go away if you tell configure not to check for X:

./configure --prefix=$HOME --enable-nntp-only --without-x

once again, no idea. the configure source looks ok to me.

could you post the generated config.log? it should hold some more detailed
information what is going wrong.
