After updating the system, that was enabled by default - thanks for the tip
for next time.

Aha! I figured it had to be somewhere, since so many of the packages
included pkgconfig files.

CLucene doesn't seem to build quite properly - the linker complains about
mangled something inside of the library files.  I suppose I just wanted to
test and see if it would build and function properly.

Without icu worked fine for me.

Package Manager does not list xrender.pc as part of the xorg-headers
package, nevertheless, after installing that package, I had the xrender.pc
file.  What version were you trying?  I have 0.5.11-0.98.  I presume the
0.5.11 means that this is SunOS 5.11, but I have no idea what 0.98 is
supposed to indicate.  I second your feelings about this package manager
system.

That (almost) did the trick.  It compiles and links fine.  Once I installed
it and installed a Bible module, it ran the request to become the URL
handler, displayed the start-up splash screen, the progress bar filled out,
then, when the bar was completely full, the program seg faulted with the
following backtrace:
