Hey, a workaround is to install the development files of xlib, see the install docs here.

I have them, libx11-dev is installed.
Why does rake not see it, rake is 1.9.1
How to fix it?

So, I assume I'm the only one with this issue.
I didn't have any trouble on archlinux, they have subtle already packaged, while WattOS (Ubuntu 12.04) do seem to behave differently.
As I said, all needed libs are installed.

Yep, since your system is just not properly installed. I did a clean install of 12.04 and it worked completely.

Here is what I installed: build-essential libx11-dev libxrandr-dev libxpm-dev ruby1.9.3 mercurial

Is pkg-config installed on your system? You can verify it on the console with e.g.: pkg-config x11 --libs

Thanks for the libs tip, I didn't have the pkg-config package. Hmmm
