Hi,

I'm trying to install Gtk+ 2.4 and now I've encountered a problem I have no idea how to solve. I have installed Pango 1.4.0, as Gtk+ demands, but then later in the configuration process, I get this error:

configure: error: Pango 1.2.0 and Xft backend is required for x11 target

I don't understand this. First it demands to Pango 1.4 to be installed and now for Pango 1.2 with Xft backend?

Can anyone help me out here? I'd appreciate it.

I'm still stuck with this. Would be nice if anyone has any tips.

i'm stuck in the exact same place. My hunch is that we are not using pkgconfig at this stage (and it's not finding pango).

but if you get past this, then, you get another error b/c it want's pango 1.4.0

i'm still trying to figure this one out.

I am stuck too. Here are the tips I've found that seem useful thus far...but unfortunately I haven't been near the box I am trying to fix this on, so let me know what you have figured out.

2)http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ight=pango+1.4
3)http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-l.../msg00152.html
4)Need to install XFree86-devel-*.i586

My hunch is it is a combo of #1 and #3 in particular, but just guessing.

Looks promising too...

I think this is the solution, though I haven't tried it yet...

This looks interesting as well...
