Error Message:
...
In file included from xwin.c:34:
plxwd.h:22:22: error: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory
plxwd.h:23:23: error: X11/Xutil.h: No such file or directory
plxwd.h:24:28: error: X11/cursorfont.h: No such file or directory
plxwd.h:25:24: error: X11/keysym.h: No such file or directory
...

Solution:
# sudo apt-get install libx11-dev // for getting X11/Xlib.h, Xutil.h, cursorfont.h, and keysym.h; now those four files will be in /usr/include/X11/

# make check // need a while, but everything goes great
# make
# make install

Usage Error:
embossversion: error while loading shared libraries: libnucleus.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Reference: http://emboss.open-bio.org/pipermail/emboss/2004-July.txt
Solution: Add 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH' to ~/.bashrc (N.B., by using # locate libnucleus.so.6, you could find your own directory; instead, my directory to store libnucleus.so.6 is '/usr/local/lib')
# embossversion
