The problem is that archive MesaLib-7.10.3.tar.gz was moved to another
location on ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa

Hence, edit in the xcrysden's root directory the file "make.include" and
replace the line 25:

MESA_URL = ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/$(MESA_VER)

with 

MESA_URL = ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/older-versions/7.x/$(MESA_VER)


(i.e. the difference is "older-versions/7.x/"). The reason for using the
old 7.x version of Mesa is that, by my experience, it compiles far
easier.
