[Comm-en] Compiling from source - X headers

Tried to find this package using Synaptic, XFree86-devel is not listed
as a package.

Tried apt-cache search XFree86-devel*
and found several packages, but not one named XFree86-devel
Those I found, eg. XFree86-lib, are already installed.

So once again:
Where can I find the X header files?
If the answer is XFree86-devel, how do I get XFree86-devel?
