pango 1.4.1 compile probs

[Mathew Yeates <myeates missionspace com>]

I installed Xrender in my home directory /export/home/myeates//lib but I
keep getting the error

creating libpangoft2-1.0.la
(cd .libs && rm -f libpangoft2-1.0.la && ln -s ../libpangoft2-1.0.la
libpangoft2-1.0.la)
/bin/bash ../libtool --mode=link gcc  -g -O2 -Wall   -o
libpangoxft-1.0.la -rpath /export/home/myeates//lib -version-info

grep: can't open /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.la

or directory
libtool: link: `/usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.la' is not a valid libtool
archive

why does libtool keep insisteing on looking in  /usr/X11R6 ?????

How do I fix this????
