The first error reports are coming in...

I have a hard time keeping track of all the possible combinations of all 
these different versions of X11 on Leopard. Thus what I said about 
libXdamage was not quite right: It does exist on stock Leopard X11 
10.5.4 (at least since 10.5.2 AFAICT.) But one finds only the symlink 
libXdamage.1.0.0.dylib there, not the one that is mentioned in the 
libXdamage.la file from xcode-3.1 which is libXdamage.1.1.0.dylib.

Thus any linker line using gnu libtool and containing the flag

   -L/usr/X11/lib -lXdamage

will fail on Leopard 10.5.4 with stock X11 and xcode-3.1. Likewise for

   -L/usr/X11/lib -lpng
