Re: gEDA-user: libgeda compile error problem solved, sort of...

[John Griessen <john_g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I found that new versions of xorg in for instance debian unstable have
no file  /usr/lib/libXrender.la, and that is going to be the norm, where 
configure scripts stop looking for it, and libtool works without having it.

As a stopgap measure, I found a recent version of libXrender.la and put it where 
libgeda's makefile and configure looks for it, in /usr/lib/libXrender.la

Just to check that is OK, does your file look like this one below?
