Yes.  You're missing libXrender.la and a bunch of other .la files :-)
You didn't specify, but I'm assuming you upgraded from 10.5, and
probably had Xquartz X11 installed.  Apple got rid of the .la files for
X11, and for some of the other built-in libraries, too.

A workaround is to use (assuming your Fink tree is in the default path;
modify as appropriate)

sudo -s
find /sw/lib -name *.la | xargs rm

That will clear out all of your old .la files, and any new ones you
generate from fink builds won't refer to the now-nonexistent ones.
