Hmm.. the Xlib.h and shape.h files should have been included with
XFree86 development packages (it's possible you didn't install them.. 
Look for 'XFree86-devel-*.rpm' on your CD or on the web..)  The xpm.h
file would be in an 'xpm-devel' package..

The files _should_ be located under the /usr/X11R6/include/ directory..

/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xlib.h
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/xpm.h
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/extensions/shape.h

Of course, the other problem with your compiling is that the include
path doesn't seem to be there..  There should have been an argument
'-L/usr/X11R6/include' in there somewhere..

To compile the particular chunk that was quoted above, type in

cc -c -O2 -Wall -L/usr/X11R6/include wmmon.c -o wmmon.o

There's probably something in the Makefile you can modify to get that
option to show up with all of the individual .o files..
