Metacity should not really need libx11.la to build. What likely happened is=

that a dependency of metacity picked up libx11.la when it was present in yo=

Libtool generates dependencies on libtool-archives (.la files) if it finds=

them, and things break if they're subsequently removed.

You need to find out what port exactly introduces the dependency on libx11.=
la=20
and recompile it. Most likely the dependency is recorded in a .la file itse=
lf=20
=2D try find /usr/local/ -name \*.la | xargs grep libx11.la and find /usr/X=
11R6=20
=2Dname \*.la | xargs grep libx11.la and see if anything turns up.
