 required environment variables.  But, unless I apply my patch, I still get
 a rather similar error to the one I mentioned before:

 Yes, that would be a mistake. Don't mix MacPorts libraries in /opt/local
 with Xquartz libraries in /opt/X11.

 > Here's how I built it:
 > {{{

 -I/opt/local/lib/'
 > $ export LDFLAGS='-I/opt/local/include/ -I/opt/X11/include/
 -I/opt/local/lib/'
 > $ export CPPFLAGS='-I/opt/local/include/ -I/opt/X11/include/
 -I/opt/local/lib/'
 > $ ./configure
 > $ make bootstrap
 > }}}

 `-I` flags belong in CPPFLAGS only, and should only reference include
 directories. [[br]]
 `-L` flags belong in LDFLAGS only, and should only reference lib
 directories.

 Try these settings:

 {{{
 export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/local/lib"
 export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/local/include"
 }}}
