Hm, /usr/X11R6/include/X11/extensions/Xrender.h does exist on my system and
there is no such procedure or variable PictStandar* in it.
The header comments say Xrender.h v 1.9 2001

Now the amusing thing is I found a package xrender-0.8.tar.gz  and running
configure on that says:

   "configure error: Render headers too old.  Version 0.8 or later
required."

I can't update xrender because render is too old?  What package is that.

Is there a way out of this mess?
