Comment 1 Uli Schlachter 2016-01-29 17:11:20 UTC
Could you attach your config.log? Which version of whatever package provides /usr/include/X11/extensions/Xrender.h (the file defining XLinearGradient) do you have? Apparently configure things that you have an old version without these definitions.

P.S.: How the heck did you get "./make" to work?!
