Ok, I see you have compiled your own there since its in your home
directory. This could lead it to search for libs in the wrong places.

Try the following:

strace eagle 2> strace.txt
grep libXrender strace.txt

and see if the location for the lib this grep should give you is
/usr/lib or perhaps it is /opt or something else, you might be able to
solve it then by making a symlink from the result of strace to
/usr/lib and then eagle should find the lib.
