Doesn't Ubuntu have a package for FOX anyways? Why not just install
that instead?

    sudo aptitude install libfox1.6-dev

But assuming you have some reason not to use the standard package, it
looks like you don't have libXext installed. What happens if you do:

    sudo aptitude install libxext-dev

and then try the "configure; make; make install" cycle for FOX again?

Hope this helps,
