The actual issue of that ticket is resolved meaning things are no more
broken with xrender now than they were before (which means, they're
still not too great). If you sync, you should be able to install
xrender without pulling in xorg-libX11 (assuming you can satisfy the
lib:libX11.6 dependency some other way).
The problem lies in some sort of conflict when both /usr/X11R6/lib/
libX11.dylib and /opt/local/lib/libX11/dylib are linked to by your
executable... so... yeah... my short term solution to offer you is
either
1) use all macports for your X11 dependencies (maybe setting x11prefix
to /opt/local in macports.conf will be enough... you should probably
then install xorg-libX11 so you don't accidently pull in XFree86)
or
2) use none of the xorg-* ports in macports
Sorry I can't offer you a better solution right now.

I think if you pull in xorg-libX11 first, it'll be fine, but I need
someone to test that first...
I just tried sudo port upgrade installed (I should have said outdated
instead of installed, but nothing seemed to go wrong) and I hit this
xrender
problem. I looked at the conversation over the ticket, but didn't
understand
much of it. Also, I was surprised to find that the bug report was
closed,
because that would indicate to me that the problems with porting
xrender
have been removed. But I am continuing to get exactly the same
errors as
those originally reported. How should one interpret a "bug closed"
message?
I run Mac Os X 10.4.11, so I should have changed the name of the
thread from
Panther to Tiger, but I didn't know how to do that.
Could someone post advice on how to proceed, directed at uneducated
users?
Thanks very much. I would have tried installing xorg-libX11, except
that
Jeremy says, in the email I quote, that the solution is untested, and,
furthermore, the discussion on the ticket seems a little equivocal.
Furthermore, I saw the comment in that discussion that installing
xorg-libX11 brings in a lot of other stuff, so I don't want to do
it, unless
it's necessary.
