Have. you fully followed the instructions? You need more than

> cmake -DGEANT4\_USE\_OPENGL\_X11=ON

You need something like (to quote from the Installation Guide, and adding the above):

> $ cd /path/to/geant4.10.07-build  
> $ cmake -DGEANT4\_USE\_OPENGL\_X11=ON -DCMAKE\_INSTALL\_PREFIX=/path/to/geant4.10.07-install /path/to/geant4.10.07
