Hi Magnus,

I ran into exactly the same problem. There's an error configure.ac the 
RENDER_CFLAGS is not exported. I filed a bug against it, but my patch 
still has not been comitted :-(

Basically the patch makes sure that it does not look in the X11 
directory of your system but in the directory where you install gnome 
with jhbuild. The file you are talking about is installed by render 
which is just compiled before Xrender.
