I did build and install libdrm. It created:

/usr/lib/libdrm_nouveau2.so.2
/usr/lib/libdrm_nouveau2.so.2.0.0
/usr/lib/libdrm_nouveau.so.1
/usr/lib/libdrm_nouveau.so.1.0.0

I got these values from pkg-config:

pkg-config --modversion libdrm
2.4.37

pkg-config --modversion libdrm_nouveau
0.6

pkg-config --modversion libdrm_nouveau2
2.4.33

So setting the environment variables pointed it to libdrm_nouveau2
rather than libdrm_nouveau.

According to David Airlie, i shouldn't need to use his repos any more, i
built xorg-server 1.13.0 from the git repo successfully prior to this.
So i don't need to worry about these any more.

I did have xorg-macros, but not xorg-server. But it shouldn't produce a
syntax error for an undefined macro should it?

Also the result of the above command is this:

$ pkg-config --libs xrandr
-lXrandr 

Any further advice?
