It doesn't look for a file libXrandr.2.dylib in the current working  
directory while you're making the symlink. Rather, it looks for a  
file libXrandr.2.dylib in the directory where the symlink is, which  
is /usr/X11/lib.

You can delete the libXrandr.2.0.0.dylib symlink if you like, and re- 
create it as per the originally given command. Or you can leave it;  
it's not hurting anything that you put the full pathname into the  
symlink.

The libXrandr.2.0.0.dylib issue is completely fixed by creating the  
symlink as above.

However, the missing _jas_whatever symbols from your second message  
is a mystery to me so someone with knowledge of gtk and jasper will  
have to look into that. I'm hoping Anthony will have some idea, or  
know where to ask for help.
