You can set an enviromental variable before running xcaverot to change their
size.  For sh, bash and similar shells:

XCAVEROT_INDICATOR_RADIUS=10
export XCAVEROT_INDICATOR_RADIUS
xcaverot survey.3d &

The default size is 40.

This should be getting probed automatically by autoconf (as happens on other
platforms).

What does config.log say?  And where are libXext.so and friends?
