Here is the error:

erhaps you should add the directory containing `xrender.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'xrender' found

configure: error: libXrender not found or too old.
===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
Please report the problem to gnome at FreeBSD.org [maintainer] and attach the
"/usr/ports/x11-fonts/libXft/work/libXft-2.1.6/config.log" including the
output of the failure of your make command. Also, it might be a good idea to
provide an overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. an `ls
/var/db/pkg`).

As you can see, everything installs nicely until XFree86-4 clients.

As for how I am doing it, as I said in previous emails, I am building from
the meta port XFree86-4, and when I start the build process nothing else is
installed. It is a completely clean installation.

Btw, this has just recently occurred. Before I downloaded the mini-iso,
installed, cvs'uped and everything was built nicely from the ports. That was
just a couple of days ago.

I then cvsup'ed, make clean'ed the whole port tree to remove any temporary
source code, the uninstalled all packages. I then proceeded to re-install
everything, starting with XFree86-4, which is where I have found problems as
there is a conflict/issue between XFree86-4-client, the requirement for Xft2
and Xft2 dependency on xrender.pc which although exists in
XFree86-4-library, isn't found by Xft2 installation as there is no
xrender.pc present in the /usr/X11R6/libdata/pkgconfig path.
