Hello Hamish:
Well, as you probably know, Fedora is based on Xorg, so I don't think 
there are any rpms for Xfree-devel.
But I have worked thru the problems by having a look at the configure 
string as you suggested. I added:
 --with-includes=/usr/include
then the Xorg libraries were found.
In addition I had to install one additional package, libXmu-devel, and 
then the error regarding nviz also went away.
Thanks for your tip, which helped to get me up and  running.

Cheers,
Micha
