so please some 1 help me

g_assertion_message is provided by glib and should defined in /usr/local/include/glib-2.0/gtestutils.h on your machine. Do you have the development package for glib installed? If not install that and try again.

I also notice that you have glib installed in /usr/local and GTK+ installed in /usr. Did you install glib yourself from source?

myself ( ./configure ........ make ......... sudo make install )
and i think yes thx for the reply

That's what I thought. I think the glib headers get pulled into pixman via the GTK+ headers (i.e., the pixman source has #include <gtk/gtk.h>, but not #include <glib.h>). Therefore, you're trying to build pixman against the GTK+ that I'm guessing you installed with your package manager. That GTK+ is built against a different version of glib. Of course, I'm only conjecturing as to what you've done on your machine.

ok so i have to download a gtk from source ??? cuz is realy hard to get software for power pc so iam gonna download gtk from source

You really should just install the development packages for glib and GTK+ from Ubuntu's repos. In fact, I bet pixman is available in Ubuntu's repos too.

o no i got my old probleme :S so i hope you can help me cuz i realy whant to install a flash player to listen video on youtube :S but for power pc the only one i found is swfdec please help me there is my old probleme

checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for BASE_DEPENDENCIES... configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.17.6 atk >= 1.13.0 pango >= 1.20 cairo >= 1.6) were not met:

Requested 'pango >= 1.20' but version of Pango is 1.12.3

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables BASE_DEPENDENCIES_CFLAGS
and BASE_DEPENDENCIES_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Your atk, cairo, and pango are too old. You'll need to update them to at least the versions shown.

yhea but after ... iam gonna get this prob Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you

i am cross compiling for arm on fedoracore-7 .the arm toolchain im using is arm-gcc-3.4.4 .
in order to cross compile cairo library i had to download pixman.tar.gz . i am trying to install all these libraries to nonstandard prefix path so that the system libraries remain undisturbed.

pixman-0.12.0 does the configure without error but make gives the following error

please could anyone of you help me with this issue.i am bit new to linux so dont know to figure out what the problem exactly is .

So i got same problems but to instal pixman You need perl5, libtool and pkg-config ( the latest), then pixman and cairo compile great, but when i try to install gtk+ apears next problem gtk don't recognize versions of glib and cairo, sometimes just glib, sometimes cairo, and i can't compile gtk+, even i have good versions, does anyone know why ?

for gtk to compile u'll need glib,pango, etc all new versions

while i try configuring pkg-config-0.23 i get an error

./configure --host=i686-linux --build=arm-linux --prefix=/root/usr/moz/ --without-x

this glib-1.2.10 version is within the pkg-config-0.23 tarball .
could anyone help me solve this problem
