I normally build vim with the "normal" features in an X11
environment and it "just works". I found from reading the code and
"./configure --help" that --with-x should give you the clipboard.
Since that's not working, I suspect that there is some development
library missing from your system.

Note that building the "normal" or "huge" version should
automatically give you clipboard support: 1) if the required
libraries are accessible; and 2) you haven't given ./configure some
option that disables clipboard support.

You might take a look at the output of ./configure to see if it
reports any problems with X-related features. The results of
running ./configure are in src/auto/config.log. Frankly, I find
that file hard to read. What I usually do when I'm having
configuration problems is to capture the stderr and stdout from
./configure like this:

./configure {my options} 2>&1 | tee ../configure.out
