[amsat-bb] Re: Need help to compile Gpredict

looks like your RANDR issue is a known bug, looking out on the 
macports.org website


      What does 'Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display
      "/tmp/launch-XXXXXX/:0"' mean?¶
      <mailbox:///C%7C/Users/Kevin%20Schuchmann/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/ezo1336t.default/Mail/Local%20Folders/Inbox.sbd/amsat-bb?number=2241226#randr>

Many X11 programs try to use the RANDR extension, and print this warning 
when it is not available. The RANDR extension is not available in the 
Apple-provided X11 server in Snow Leopard and earlier. It is supported 
in XQuartz <http://xquartz.macosforge.org> 2.6.0 as well as the MacPorts 
X11 servers.

Unless you have a specific need for RandR functionality, this warning 
can be safely ignored.

Total time for these steps was about 10 minutes (and my port upgrade is still running... grrrrrrr...)  Anyhow, hopefully this helps!  I'm going to step away from the computer for a bit, when I come back later, i'll report back on the result of my final run!
