[cairo] [Fwd: problem building cairo 1.6.4 on slightly older linux]

[Charles Doutriaux]

Hi,

Thanks for looking into it,  I figured that much, but it's for a user 
that has only access to some really old machines. Is there a way around it?
What happens if i turn off xrender? what will be broken in cairo?
Thanks
C.
