sudo ln -s libXrandr.2.dylib /usr/X11/lib/libXrandr.2.0.0.dylib

If you buy a new Mac, with Mac OS X 10.5.2 pre-installed, it only
has the newer version of X11 which only has the last and latest link.
So you have "libXrandr.2.0.1.dylib", but not "libXrandr.2.0.0.dylib".
Ironically, both are supposed to link to the same library anyway...

/usr/X11/lib/libXrandr.2.0.0.dylib -> libXrandr.2.dylib
/usr/X11/lib/libXrandr.2.1.0.dylib -> libXrandr.2.dylib
/usr/X11/lib/libXrandr.2.dylib
/usr/X11/lib/libXrandr.dylib -> libXrandr.2.dylib
