Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1

There is no /opt/local/lib/libX11/dylib on my system; but, Apple's  
X11R6 is installed in /usr.  The file Xrender.h is in /opt/local/ 
include/extensions.  I notice in the -I path designation for the  
extensions is -I../include/extensions instead of /opt/local/include/ 
extensions.  This is different from the other -I designations where / 
opt/local precedes the directory.  This could be a problem if the  
working directory is not ../ relative away from the include/ 
extensions directory.
