Ok, my host distro is Debian etch i386

Yes, on my host system, X include are in /usr/include/X11.

I will try that.

I have found a non correct solution for tetex :
export includedir = "${STAGING_INCDIR}"
but that was not a good solution (the package tetex-dev want to install the
files in
${STAGING_INCDIR}...)

Moreover, since xdvi is configure to not be compile, tetex could be configure
with
-without-x

I will experiment your solution.
