Hi all.
I'm installing GTK+2 from source. (I'm using Slackware 12.1)
First of all i have removed gtk+1 and all it's dependencies
which are atk,pango,cairo,...
Then i installed the latest stable versions of atk,pango,cairo,...
launching ./configure --without-libjasper from where i have estract
GTK i see :

...
checking sys/shm.h usability... yes
checking sys/shm.h presence... yes
checking for sys/shm.h... yes
checking X11/extensions/XShm.h... yes
checking for Xinerama support on XFree86... yes
checking Pango flags... configure: error:
*** Pango not found. Pango built with Cairo support is required
*** to build GTK+. See http://www.pango.org for Pango information.

It says that it can't find Pango. But i have installed it.
(pls sorry me for my bad english)
Thanks a lot for your precious help.

gtk1 and gtk2 are different packages. You shouldn't remove gtk 1.

Which latest stable? Compiled from source code or the one available on slackware?

Check readme for gtk and see which version of pango it needs, make sure you are using right version. Also, as I remember it, gtk requires specific build order: (as I remember it) first compile+install cairo, then pango, then gtk.

Also consider downloading newer gtk packages used in slackware 12.2 - they should work in slackware 12.1, and you won't have to compile them yourself. Packages are available on ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackwar...2/slackware/l/ .

Thanks for the clarification !
cairo-1.8.6,glib-2.18.3,gnome-common-2.24.0
libtool-2.2.6a,pango-1.22.4,atk-1.24.0. Yes compiled from source.
I have followed the order cairo,pango.
Well, i don't know if they would work. If while configuring (./configure) it says me that it can't find pango, if i use a non-source package , probably , i will have runtime errors.
(don't know if i'm right ...)

However thanks a lot for the help, i will try to reinstall all from source in correct order , and if it doesnt work i will try too the
slackware way.
Ah, i'll too reinstall gtk 1.
I forgot to tell you guys a thing,i am using checkinstall,
instead of make install. (seeem it works).

taken from INSTALL of gtk
GTK+ requires the following packages:

- The GLib, Pango, ATK and cairo libraries, available at the same
location as GTK+. GTK+ 2.14.6 requires at least GLib 2.17.6,
Pango 1.20, ATK 1.13.0 and cairo 1.6.0.

- The TIFF, PNG, and JPEG image loading libraries. You most
likely have these installed on your system already. If not
these libraries are available from:

http://www.libtiff.org/
http://www.libpng.org/
http://www.ijg.org/

libtiff must be version 3.6.0 or higher.

I think to have correct versions.

might need to update your shared library database: run sudo /sbin/ldconfig to update it; the configure script checks against this listing to verify that the dependencies are present and of current versions; it might not have deleted the old pango entry yet. i just rebuilt my gtk a couple days ago and had the greatest of fun with this dependency hell. if you have a good enough story, there is a wikipedia article called Dependency Hell you might like to see
