The autoconf AC_PATH_X and AC_PATH_XTRA macros think X is unavailable if only x-dev and libx11-dev are installed. In fact, autoconf thinks they're missing *even if* you specify --x-includes and --x-libraries arguments to configure. This is howlingly incorrect, but I have not had time to write a new autoconf macro for this, and the autoconf package maintainer(s) have not yet advised me regarding a workaround. Once this problem is hurdled, Xrender, Xcursor, and Xft can be revved. -- G.
