What that error message called "Render" would better be called "renderproto", (it lives at "xorg/proto/renderproto" in the source tree). It contains header files and protocol description. It's used by both the X server and the X client-side libraries. Then there is an "Xrender" client-side library package, (called "xorg/lib/libXrender" in the source tree). And as described above, it depends on the renderproto package. So in this case, libXrender was complaining that renderproto was too old, (and yes the names in the error messages were quite confusing). Anyway, I hope you can work that out now. We'll definitely be off-topic for the cairo list soon if you uncover more problems. :-) -Carl</blockquote><div> Well, I've been building things for two days and haven't gotten closer.  I'm giving up on this, sad to say.  I can't/won't put a whole other Xwin build on this machine just to get some wxPython. Thanks to all who offered assistance. </div></div>
