looks to me like maybe you don't have all of Xrender installed.  Do you 
have an older libgeda lying around that you can run ldd on and see where 
is it looking for libXrender?

I would have expected you to have both a libXrender.a (static lib) as 
well as libXrender.so* (shared libs) and probably a libXrender.la 
(libtool library file)
