Description David Owen 2011-11-16 03:31:11 UTC 
When xorg-server is built with the "dmx" USE-flag, it has both a build-time and a run-time dependency on libXrender.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Either remove libXrender from your system (this will break things), or try to build xorg-server in a chroot.
Actual Results:  
checking for DMXMODULES... no
checking whether to build Xdmx DDX... yes
configure: error: Xdmx build explicitly requested, but required
                              modules not found.

Expected Results:  
The ebuild should finish successfully.

Completing the ebuild with libXrender in place, removing libXrender, then running revdep-rebuild reveals the run-time dependency.

libXrender is typically pulled in by applications or application frameworks, or some of the X utilities (e.g. KDE, GNOME, Firefox, Thunderbird, xterm, xrandr), and so reproducing this build bug may be hard in anything but a minimal chroot.

To workaround, "emerge -1 libXrender".  You'll probably install some apps later that will have an explicit dependency on it.
