Your problem is an incorrectly installed gs (presumably being called via
ps2pdf) - you shouldn't have installed it without it's dependencies.
If ps2pdf wasn't installed, the pdf build would be skipped.

But you somehow installed a ps2pdf that depended on libXrender either
without libXrender first or deleted libXrender afterwards.   Don't do
that.
