Until a most recent upgrade of macports ports (after release of 1.7), I had no trouble with X11. However, I am now caught with this bug:

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17558

One recommended workaround is to remove all macports xorg ports and reinstall ports that have links to xorg libs, now using OS X X11 libs. This is what I am trying to do. Right now I am stuck at trying to reinstall kde3. kdelibs3 fails with:

checking for libXext... no
configure: error: We need a working libXext to proceed. Since configure
can't find it itself, we stop here assuming that make wouldn't find
them either.
kdelibs3-3.5.8-3 configure failed!

However, I do have libXext:

$ ls /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext*
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.6.4.dylib /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.6.dylib /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.a /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.dylib

How can I resolve this?
