The real error is "can't map". This happens typically when you didn't 
install X11 from the system disk, but tried to be smart and copy the 
dylibs from /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6/usr/X11/lib to /usr/X11/lib. 
These libraries are "stubs", that is they can be used for linking, 
because they contain the right symbol references, but not for running, 
because they do not contain the compiled code.

The other copy of libXrender.1.dylib in /usr/local/lib is some 3rd-party 
garbage that you should weed out (together with most of the other stuff 
in /usr/local, which in your situation probably only runs on 10.5).
