I've been trying to install LinNeighborhood. It require the GTK+ library, so i downloaded the GTK+ 2.2.3 library.

I tried to install GTK but it requires a more recent version of pango (whatever that is!) So i downloaded pango 1.2.5.

I tried to install pango 1.2.5 but it requires a higher version of glib 2.1.4!!!!! So i downloaded glib 2.1.5.

I installed glib 2.1.5 with no errors, closely following the install instructions. With my new glib installed i tried again to install pango but it said......

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `fontconfig.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'fontconfig' found

But i understand why it wants a higher version than 2.1.3 when i've installed 2.1.5. Does anyone know what i'm doing wrong? It seems to be getting very complex for installing a program!
