Hello, when I try to install cairo, I have the following error message:

checking for X_CFLAGS... checking for X_LIBS... checking for X... no configure: error: X is required, but it was either disabled or not found.

After a re-installation, it's the first port I install. Do you know what is X, and where find it?

thank you,

Looks like it's checking for an X server, i.e. X11/X.org. Running the command "port deps cairo" shows that Cairo requires xrender to build; "port deps xrender" shows XFree86, which is one of the standard X servers, as a dependency. Do you have Apple's X11 / X11 SDK installed? I believe that should satisfy the dependency. ---- Kevin Walzer PortAuthority: The GUI for MacPorts http://www.codebykevin.com/portauthority.html

thank you for your answer. I have installed X11 from the MacOSX DVD, just after installed the OS. should I install X11 sdk (is it on the DVD?) ? lolveley.
