What about the --disable-config-udev option?

Yes, I do have libdrm and libdrm-dev installed and I can see the file
/usr/include/drm/drm.h
There are other libdrm related packages. Do I need one of them?
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=libdrm

The following posts describe the same problem.
They suggested replacing <drm.h> with <drm/drm.h> in the file
/usr/include/GL/internal/dri_interface.h
and it works.
They also say that using --disable-dri and --enable-glx together might
cause problems.
Does it make sense to use them together?
