I posted this as a follow up in the Networking forum when I was looking for ways to get rdesktop installed, but this might be the more appropriate venue. It seems that rdesktop requires an install from source, which I have never done before. This is what I did:
(1) I installed the X Code Tools
(2) I indtalled the latest X11 package from the Apple website
(3) I created the /usr/local/src/rdesktop-1.3.1 directory, expanded all files into that folder and followed the instructions in the rdesktop Readme.
(4) When I execute the ./configure script, I get the following error:
Could not find X Window system headers.
(searched for include/X11/Xlib.h in: /usr/X11R6 /usr/X11 /usr/openwin /usr /usr/local/X11R6 /usr/local/X11 /usr/local)
This is probably trivial for someone with a working knowledge of UNIX, but unfortunately that someone isn't me (at least not yet). Any help would be greatly appreciated. drhfk

At a quick glance, it appears that X11 was not installed. Go ahead and check for yourself. Look for /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11
drhfk,
Did you installed the 'X11SDK' package from the Xcode Tools CD?
Could you also post the result of:
gcc -v

Although Fink doesn't have yet an rdesktop package for 10.3 in their database, you can also install rdesktop-1.3.1-1 with Fink if you do the following:
1-Download and install Fink from here:
http://fink.sourceforge.net/download/index.php?phpLang=en
2-Download the "rdesktop-1.3.1-1.info" file from Fink's package submissions tracker:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=866872&group_id=17203&atid=414256
3- and then copy the file to:
/sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo/x11
(make the directory or directories if you don't have them)
4- Then add with the editor Pico "local/main" in the "Trees:" line in /sw/etc/fink.conf :
Trees: local/main unstable/main unstable/crypto stable/main stable/crypto local/bootstrap
5- Then run 'fink install rdesktop' .
[pm @ Sao: ~] % fink list -i rdesktop
