hello all,
after numerous attempts to install gtk+-2.8.9 from its source (which i must say is an ardous task in itself :-( ), i'm constantly getting some error or the other. Now am stuck up with the following error:
i installed all the dependencies mentioned (i.e libtiff,libpng,jpegsrc,glib,atk,pango,cairo) with versions as mentioned and which were available at the home site gtk.org. Now when i'm installing cairo, i'm getting the following configure error

configure: error: Cairo requires at least one font backend.
Please install freetype and fontconfig, then try again:
http://freetype.org/ http://fontconfig.org/
but i already installed the above and even 'locate freetype' shows its there!!
PS: while configure i gave the option as ./configure -prefix=/opt/gtk
can anybody pls guide me where am i geting it wrong?
thnx in advance
