Description Scott Dattalo 2006-02-03 03:08:23 UTC
Please describe the problem:
I'm not sure if this is a gtk bug or a pilot error, but I had difficulties
configuring gtk-2.8.11 (this also exists in at least 2.8.7 too); and in
particular there appears to be a missing reference to the pangoft2 library.

After I installed, cairo-1.0.2, pango-1.10.2, glib-2.8.6, and atk-1.10.3 on a
stock FC4 box I attempted to configure gtk-2.8.11, but encountered this failure:

------------
checking Pango flags... -I/usr/local/include/pango-1.0
-I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include
-I/usr/local/include/cairo   -L/usr/local/lib -lpangocairo-1.0 -lpango-1.0
-lcairo -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0
configure: error:
*** Can't link to Pango. Pango is required to build
*** GTK+. For more information see http://www.pango.org

------------

After some poking around I determined that configure failed to include
pangoft2. I didn't see any specific gtk-2.8.11 configure options for
customizing pango, so I dove write into the gory configure script and
changed line 31568 from

        PANGO_PACKAGES="pango pangocairo"

to

        PANGO_PACKAGES="pango pangocairo pangoft2"


Steps to reproduce:
1. Install A fresh FC4
2. download and (attempt to) install gtk+-2.8.11 and friends
3. 


Actual results:
As described above, configure halts

Expected results:
I'd expect configure to not halt

Does this happen every time?
This happens every time

Other information:
My system is an x86-64

Hard to say what went wrong for you with 2.8. 

From the symptoms it sounds more like a problem with your pango installation.

Anyway, please reopen if you experience similar problems with current versions 
of pango and gtk.
