Hm, interesting.  Perhaps you need to look around at the config.log a little
more to look for other clues.  I tried downloading the source for mrxvt and
building it after installing the same X packages/versions as you have.  I
had no problem.  One difference I do see is that I didn't start with a
configure script so I had to generate it via 'bootstrap.sh', as recommended
in the INSTALL file that came with the mrxvt source.  To do that though, I
needed to install automake, autoconf, and libtool (I installed all versions,
just for kicks ;-) ).  If the configure file you have was not generated on
your machine though, this could explain why you're seeing the problems you're
seeing.
