xorg's X11.app does not succeed at startup

[yves@…]

Clicking Macports installed X11.app make the app start and stop before anything happen.

Using "startx" does not really help

/opt/local/bin/startx

of course, X11.app is in /Applications/MacPorts

Here is some maybe more useful output :

Maybe I did not get your point, but I don't have this -Wl,single_module in my build, but it still does not work :

/usr/bin/gcc-4.0 -dynamiclib  -o .libs/libXfont.1.4.1.dylib  .libs/dummy.o  [ ... ] .libs/libXfont.lax/libspeedo.a/spinfo.o   
-L/opt/local/lib /opt/local/lib/libfreetype.dylib /opt/local/lib/libz.dylib -lz -lbz2 -lm /opt/local/lib/libfontenc.dylib  
-install_name  /opt/local/lib/libXfont.1.dylib -Wl,-compatibility_version -Wl,6 -Wl,-current_version -Wl,6.1

I use MP's glibtool and 10.5.6

1) Your error is different that the libXfont issue (which I should have a fix for soon). You're just not starting it correctly. Don't use the startx script. It won't work (see how it's trying to start your /Applications/Utilities/X11.app instead of /Applications/MacPorts/X11.app)
