 > Right; I can only fix this in the sense of adding a configure check for
 cairo_xlib_surface_get_xrender_format() and not building g.cairocomp if
 it's missing. g.cairocomp can't work without that function, but the cairo
 driver can.


 And do I understand correctly that g.cairocomp is need to use the GUI, at
 least when using the default cairo driver ?

 I guess it's time to compile a more recent version of cairo, then...
