Re: [Help-smalltalk] What is libXrender.la, and why do I need it?

[smalltalker2]

You have two choices:

1) run the cygwin setup program and add the X11 libraries and server.

2) run configure like this:
./configure --disable-gtk --without-tcl --without-tk
The currnetsmalltalk cinfiguration automattically adds Blox support. The 
Blox support requires tcl and tk to create a graphic interface, which in turn
requires Xll to render the graphic interface.
