Description acni 2007-12-10 21:18:14 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
1. have a cairo installation with `pkg-config --libs cairo`
   returning more than '-lcairo'
2. ./configure  (--> cairo found, but all cairo functions fail)
3. 


Stack trace:


Other information:
The pango-1.16.4/configure does the effort to set
INSTALLED_CAIRO_LIBS=`PKG_CONFIG_DISABLE_UNINSTALLED=yes $PKG_CONFIG --libs cairo`
correctly. But then, instead of using "$INSTALLED_CAIRO_LIBS",
all subsequent tests simply use "-lcairo".
As a result, with an installation where `pkg-config --libs cairo` returns
more than just '-lcairo', all further tests fail.
Workaround: Edit 'configure', substituting all lines
LIBS="-lcairo $LIBS"
with
LIBS="$INSTALLED_CAIRO_LIBS $LIBS"

It was trying to set LDFLAGS instead of LIBS...

Fixed in pango-1-18 branch and trunk.
