Well the issue won't be in config.log, the problem is, Xft2 is required for client, Xft2 relies on Xrender, but since there is no xrender.pc in the /usr/X11R6/libdata, which SHOULD exist if xrender is present, however, even though the files are present, the necessary "trigger" of xrender.pc doesn't exist. The worst part, Xrender then relies on libx11 which relies on etc. etc. In other words everything turned to crap when the individual parts of X11 were merged into the tree, before then everything worked nicely. Btw, if I install the individual parts of libX11/etc, when compiling XFree86-4-clients, it whines about pthreads issues relating to libX11. So in both cases I am screwed. I guess I'll just have to wait till xorg is sorted out; along with the xorg-client issue which fails to compile. Matty
