After having installed X11User and the X11 SDK both from Apple, I couldn't understand why any port of any X11 app would fail with the following kind of errors:

Everything was there in /usr/X11R6/lib, and even a "nm" was showing all the requested symbols.
Well, after trying to find out during 1h, I found the solution and wanted to share with whoever might make the same mistake:
If you have an Mac Intel, make sure you installed X11User from the Mac Intel install DVDs. Otherwise, you will have a working X11 (through Rosetta), but you won't be able to link any port application, since you can't mix PPC and Intel code...
The error doesn't show the real problem!
I found out compiling some sample programs on my own. Then I got a much clearer warning: /usr/bin/ld: warning /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.dylib cputype (18, architecture ppc) does not match cputype (7) for specified -arch flag: i386 (file not loaded)
So out of curiosity, where did you get your X11User.pkg from, if not from your Mac's install DVD? Did you use a PowerPC Mac's install DVD on your Intel Mac?
