But that¹s the problem, I'm not trying to mix and match. I cvs'uped, removed
all packages and did a clean install of XFree86-4 using the meta port. The
problems start occuring when XFree86-4-libraries start to compile, it starts
compiling Xft2 (I think) then I complains that Xrender is either too old or
not available due to the fact that there is no pkg information regarding
xrender in the /usr/X11R6/libdata/pkgconfig directory.

When that failed, I then removed what was installed, then proceeded to
install xorg-*, which fails as well.
