Many Japanized distributions put their stuff in strange places.  If
you have the Wnn6 development stuff (as others mentioned), you may
need to tell ./configure where to find it.  Use some variants on

--site-includes=PATH    List of directories to search first for header files.
--site-libraries=PATH   List of directories to search first for libraries.
--site-prefixes=PATH    List of directories to search for include/ and lib/
                        subdirectories, just after 'site-includes' and
                        'site-libraries'.
--site-runtime-libraries=PATH
                        List of ALL directories to search for dynamically
                        linked libraries at run time.

The PATH arguments are either a single directory, or a colon-separated
list of directories.  In the latter case, order matters.

You should probably avoid using --site-prefixes and
--site-runtime-libraries because you can seriously hose yourself if
you don't use them properly.  Especially on Linux which normally uses
ld.so.conf to configure runtime libraries.

Also, I'm not sure if "--with-xim" will work correctly.  I believe you
need to specify either --with-xim=motif or --with-xim=xlib.  The
former is not likely to be very reliable on anything except Solaris,
which contrary to popular belief is not a Linux distribution.
