RRDtool build/cairo issues without X

Strykar · 07-02-2016, 12:51 AM

If I do a full install of Slackware 14.1/14.2 RRDtool installs without issue.

In the past I just installed X, however, this time I have space restrictions on the host and have skipped these sets while installing:

X
Xap
KDE
KDEi
XFCE

I have installed the X libraries set.

Error thrown by the configure script:

This is misleading as the file exists:

Quote:

# find . / -name pangocairo.pc
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/pangocairo.pc

This error is common and Googling for solutions bring up other distros requiring packages like cairo-devel.
Under docs/rrdbuild.txt the author cites issues with cairo.pc incorrectly requiring xrender and proposes a fix for OpenSolaris, which has applied to Slackware in the past.

Quote:

OpenSolaris 2008.05
Just add a compiler and the gnome development package:

pkg install sunstudioexpress
pkg install SUNWgnome-common-devel

There is a problem with cairo.pc on OpenSolaris. It suggests that
xrender is required for compilation with cairo. This is not true and
also bad since OpenSolaris does not include an xrender.pc file. Use
Perl to fix this:

perl -i~ -p -e 's/(Requires.*?)\s*xrender.*/$1/' /usr/lib/pkgconfig/cairo.pc

I've tried this and it does not fix the issue.

If cairo doesn't depend on xrender, I assume it's a package that's installed with X/Xap that rrdtool and pango work with.
I'm lost at this point and don't have the option to install X on the host.

Didier Spaier · 07-04-2016, 02:32 AM

Hello,

I did this:

Build and install rrdtools with slapt-src on 14.2
Run "depfinder -fs rrdtool-1.4.9-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz"

Please find attached:

slack-required.txt (output of the depfinder command)
rrdtool-1.4.9-x86_64-1_SBo.txt (file /var/log/packages/rrdtool-1.4.9-x86_64-1_SBo after installation)

You could use the Slackware Package Browser in "Content" mode to see what you miss.

Be aware that depfinder does not look for Perl dependencies, that I didn't attempt to find Python dependencies and that, more generally, there is no guarantee of accuracy. I hope this helps, though

Olek · 11-01-2016, 11:16 AM

I have this problem too.

From config.log:

Code:

configure:20203: $? = 0

configure:20216: checking pango/pango.h usability

But pango.h exist:

Code:

Does that error stop the configure script? Sometimes "fatal errors" during the configuration steps are not really so fatal. Anyway, it looks like gcc knows to look in /usr/include but not /usr/include/pango-1.0. You could edit the CFLAGS= line in the script (before the ./configure line) to look like this:

Code:

CFLAGS="$SLKCFLAGS -I/usr/include/pango-1.0" \

This should get you past that step in the configure script, but if you are having the same problem as the OP, I don't think it will solve that.

Olek · 11-01-2016, 12:43 PM

Thanks. It helped, but only for configure stage.
Now, its like compilator cannot find cairo.h

It appears it needs these packages to be installed first:

I have all this packages installed on my system.
There are not so many Perl Slackware packages:

Code:

# grep perl /var/lib/slackpkg/pkglist 
slackware64 perl 5.22.2 x86_64 1 perl-5.22.2-x86_64-1 ./slackware64/d txz
slackware64 perlkde 4.14.3 x86_64 2 perlkde-4.14.3-x86_64-2 ./slackware64/kde txz
slackware64 perlqt 4.14.3 x86_64 2 perlqt-4.14.3-x86_64-2 ./slackware64/kde txz

But I have Perl package installed. Packages in kde directory shouldn't be necessary.
Maybe if I want to make rrdtool package, I should install all Slackware packages? Great.

Olek · 11-05-2016, 03:17 PM

Problem solved.
After

Code:

#slackpkg install x

and install every listed packages I was build RRdtool package without errors.

rutrow · 11-07-2016, 12:10 PM

Ugh... I just can't justify installing X and associated libs just for rrdtool on my Linode. For this reason, I still run v1.0.50. Still gets the job done and has a tiny footprint.

Strykar · 06-20-2017, 04:15 AM

Just tried this again on a Linode VM and it still fails.

Code:

slackpkg install x

does get the compile to work, bit of a pain on VMs with low storage where X is never going to be used. Thanks for all the inputs.

ozanbaba · 06-27-2017, 08:15 AM

Hello Strykar,

It is possible that you are missing something for pangocairo. I remember something similar happening to me long time ago and I learned a trick. ldd /usr/lib/libpango.... (I don't really remember the library name.). Configure tests libraries and features by trying to use them. For example, when it is checking for pango_cairo_context_set_font_options in -lpangocairo-1.0, it tries to compile a small test program which uses that feature. If you are missing a library which pango depends, this will fail.

Regards,
Ozan

Pierre_ · 07-07-2018, 02:32 PM

Hello,

I think rrdtool use pkgconfig with pangocairo to get libraries paths.
Just use the command below and install the packages required ( dependencies ) if the command fail:

pkg-config --cflags pangocairo

Regards,

kopster · 08-06-2018, 12:42 AM

Tobias Oetiker did indeed use pkg-config, but that's a red herring.

When you're compiling dependencies, the order of compilation is important.
You must configure/compile/install Cairo BEFORE you configure/compile/install Pango.

The Pango configure adds the pangocairo portion to the configuration iff it detects the cairo lib.

Happy bit slinging!
