What does

	ls -ld /usr/X11

print?  If it prints

	ls: /usr/X11: No such file or directory

then you probably installed XQuartz on a machine running a pre-Yosemite version of OS X, and then upgraded to Yosemite, and the Yosemite installer proceeded to trash your XQuartz installation.  Do

	sudo ln -s /opt/X11 /usr/X11

to fix the XQuartz installation, and then, in your source directory, do

	rm -rf macosx-support-libs

and re-run the macosx-setup.sh script.

If "ls -ld /usr/X11" doesn't print "ls: /usr/X11: No such file or directory", what does

	ls -l /usr/X11/lib/libcairo.la

print?
