Thanks Marcus. I thought I had installed that dependency, but I guess I installed it somewhere other than where I was compiling slurm at. Once installed it compiled with x11 support.
However, now I have another problem. I am able to start an x11 job using the command: `srun --pty --x11 bash` but no programs can connect to the X server. In other words, I get "unable to connect to X server localhost:50.0". From what I see in the logs, it looks like it is all working properly.
