Right you are.

@ Beso: The "gs" thing didn't click with me at first so I decided to throw
libxrender before libX11 just for the hell of it because it was complaining
of the missing libxrender lib. It wasn't libX11 that was complaining about
the missing lib but rather ghostscript when libX11 was trying to build a pdf
file.... (btw, who wants bloated pdf's on their system anyway ;-)
