Replying to [comment:3 jeremyhu@…]:
> Well that was the wrong resolution for #14592 ... that bug resulted
because the user had .la files that referred to the wrong .dylib. This is
a problem on the default Leopard X11, and there are two solutions:

happening with SnowLeopard)
> 2) Install http://xquartz.macosforge.org over the system X11 since it
contains consistent .la files
But installing the compat symlink is much easier/unintrusive than deleting
libtool files and/or installing development versions (Xquartz) of the
system X11... I don't think it's any uglier than the /usr/X11R6 -> X11
compat symlink.
