I think the behaviour you get (the segfault) is indeed a XServer problem. I am planning to investigate it over the next week. Then, I have put gem into the pure-data CVS, where I am currently reworking the build system.
I am of course inviting everyone who is interested to help on improving the situation, and later, when Johannes will have set up his CVS we can send him the patches.

- there is config.cache in the package, with old paths inside,
configure buys it and make complains later
- there are non-critical typos in configure.in, like the first line
after comments, what does it do there, and it is unfinished (no backtick in the end). and also couple of times AC_ARG_WITH with second parameter " ", results in weird strings in the beginning of configure, bash complains, but it doesnt do any harm.
- in Makefile.in (i had to do autoconf myself to restore libmpeg3
detection) PREFIX is hard coded, should be PREFIX=@prefix@
- another one: Gem obejcts documentation should go into
/doc/5.reference/Gem because objects try to search it there. patch will be:
