gtk2 missing /usr/X11/lib/libX11.la on Intel Leopard

[marco.comini@…]

Cannot build gtk2 on a Mac Pro 10.5.6, xcode 3.1.2, just installed from scratch.

It complains about a missing /usr/X11/lib/libX11.la, which is actually missing. I have it on other machines, a file of about a year ago, but probably it is no longer installed by the new OSX/xcode versions. Should I install first some older version of x11user/sdk?

Here's the final transcript

You might try installing the xorg-server port or ​XQuartz.

xprg-server didn't work, didn't tried the other

I've tried another way... I've installed the old xcode 3.0 which came with my original OS, amd the files appeared, than 3.1.2 again and after that it built.
