I'm running RH9, and am trying to install GIMP 2.2. to install this i need gtk+ 2.2 which in turn needs pango, which in turn needs freetype 2. i have freetype 2, and the ./configure for pango 1.8 goes fine when checking freetype etc, but when i make i get this

any ideas?

... `FC_WEIGHT_NORMAL' undeclared (first use in this function) ...

This is defined in a header file of the fontconfig package. Maybe yours is too old? I'm using 2.2.3 (since about half an our :-).
BTW.: Check that only one fontconfig-package is installed (I had one from the xfree86 installation in /usr/X11R6/... and the new one in /usr/... - after deleting the old one in /usr/X11R6/... everything works fine now.

What exactly did you delete from the X11 directory and how. I'm not a total newbie, but I'm definitely green. I have fontconfig installed in /usr/local and I get the same error when I run make for pango 1.8.

Thank you o' wise one.

get RPMs (or switch to debian and use apt)

check ./configure --help and see if it gives you the option to ignore fontconfig (like --disable-fontconfig) or install fontconfig-2.2.x . What he's talking about is make sure you don't install one in /usr/X11R6 and also in /usr as it will not work (been though this one myself, its a pain if you have two installed accidentally). Personally, I like to install fontconfig in /usr/X11R6 (in /usr it seems to conflict with the X11 supplied libs).

And if you switch to debian, you can use apt-get to install a bleeding edje gimp-1.2 ( j/k)

Hmm, can't remember exactly what I did

Right now, if I enter "pkg-config --modversion fontconfig" it gives me 2.2.3 and there's no more "fontconfig-config" executable on my machine...
Therefore I think I deleted the following files: all "fontconfig-config" executables I've found and all "fontconfig.pc" files (found them in .../lib/pkgconfig, just use "locate" to find them). After that I installed the 2.2.3 version.

You check if you have fontconfig installed two places (/usr/X11R6 and /usr), by issuing a "locate fontconfig". Check if you can find libfontconfig.* in both /usr/lib and
/usr/X11R6/lib. If you do, mkdir /backuplib, move everything that you can associate with fontconfig under the /usr/X11R6 dir to the /backuplib, run ldconfig -v, and try to compile it again. Worked for me.

in reply to daveman_t

I got the same problem when compiling. I figure it is just a little bug in the sources. Check the last few lines in your output. It is telling you that there is an error in pangofc-fontmap.c, complaning that it doesn't know the FC_WEIGHT_NORMAL variable.

The way I corrected it was by putten the line "#define FC_WEIGHT_NORMAL 500" near the top of the document pango/pangofc-fontmap.c. That is probably not where that variable should be defined, but hey, it worked.

Grtz.
