With 1.6, cairo should compile without Xrender. You may have to
specify ./configure --disable-xlib-xrender, but I think the configure
script should automatically detect the absence of a suitable Xrender.h.

However, there have been reports of a compile failure with Solaris, and
the currently recommended workaround is:

Hope this helps.
