Thanks for the suggestion - that is the problem. This is a Solaris 9
system. I got fontconfig to install but also need xft which appears to
need xrender which needs render. 

I got all the files from:
http://nexp.cs.pdx.edu/fontconfig/release/

render installed, but xrender doesn't compile:
 gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I/usr/local/include
 -I/usr/openwin/include -g -O2 -MT Cursor.lo -MD -MP -MF
 .deps/Cursor.Tpo -c Cursor.c  -fPIC -o .libs/Cursor.o
Cursor.c: In function `XRenderCreateCursor':
Cursor.c:35: `xRenderCreateCursorReq' undeclared (first use in this
 function)

Cursor.c:35: for each function it appears in.)

make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/xrender-0.8.3'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Looks like Solaris X libraries (at least the version/configuration
installed on my system at work) don't have the correct functions.

Anyone else got any ideas for getting this compiled on Solaris?

Thanks,
Dave
