Hello, I'm installing gentoo on my x86 amd duron 800MHz pc and using mozilla to report the bug. After installation of mozilla-firefox-bin 1.5.0.7 it failed reporting a missing library file I couldn't emerge or find elsewhere. I then tried to install mozilla-firefox 1.5.0.7 but it also failed and I don't know how to solve it. Sorry, this will be long. I 've tried to figure out how to solve this but either I'm sitting on my eyes or my brain is sucked. If also tried to emerge pangox but it wasn't found. Anyway please forgive the long config-posting at the end of the emerge --info.

I installed gentoo via gentoo minimal installcd and via net downloading. I don't know why the package pangoxft can't be emerged, on the other hand in the above dir the files exist so maybe pango itself made a mistake during config-guessing and decided to not install pangoxft-files? I'm not firm to programming gentoo so I can only guess whats going wrong here. For me the bug still exists. If you have any idea what I can do I'm open for suggestions, I'd even recompile packages. Bye, Werner.
OK, I really don't know what exactly was wrong with the pango-package, but after a removing mozilla, mozilla-bin firefox and firefox-bin packages, I looked into the /usr/lib dir and couldn't find any pango-lib-file. I then did a cd to temporary portage workdir of the pango package and ran the "sh ./configure", "make" and "make install" manually. I saw that the lib-files were installed in /usr/local/lib whereas all other portage lib-files were stored at /usr/lib. I then renamed /usr/local/lib temporarily to /usr/local/unlib , deleted all .* files in /var/tmp/portage/pango... except the .unpacked and remerged x11-libs/pango package again. I then ran an editor to set the environment variable "LD_LIBRAY_PATH" to /usr/lib in my /etc/profile.local but didn't save the file yet (don't know where else to set it) and again don't know why but after doing an emerge -v x11-libs/pango all the libfiles where emerged to /usr/lib and after reemerging the mozilla-firefox-bin package again I was able to start /usr/bin/firefox but now got error messages in the executing xterm window running firefox command: "(Gecko:650): Pango-WARNING **: /usr/local/lib/pango/1.5.0/modules/pango-basic-fc .so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Failed to load Pango module for id: 'BasicScriptEngineFc' As I noticed earlier this error is a linking error which is from previous manual make of pango (notice /usr/local/unlib dir). So I set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib" and did an etc-update;source /etc/profile (calling /etc/profile.local) and then an env-update and rm in the workdir of the pango-package .compiled etc. except the .unpacked file and ran sh ./configure --libdir=/usr/lib --prefix=/usr and then ran make and make install again amnually. This time the lib files were installed to /usr/lib and the module files in /usr/lib/pango/1.5.0/modules/pango-basic-fc.so was also in the right place. Still, when executing firefox, I still get: Failed to load Pango module for id: 'BasicScriptEngineFc' (Gecko:4940): Pango-WARNING **: /usr/local/lib/pango/1.5.0/modules/pango-basic-fc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I tried to get rid of the error (Gecko...) many times but eventually I gave up due to lack of knowledge and worked around it doing a ln -s /usr/lib /usr/local/lib and that finally got rid of Gecko-Errors. While experimenting I have set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib and LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/lib . Maybe this informations help to resolve the problem. I still have a lack of knowledge how to get firefox/pango to know and accept that the modules and libs are really at /usr/lib/pango... and /usr/lib without using the linking workaround. You can set "Mark bug as CLOSED" now, but I would appreciate it if you could expand my knowledgebase on how to resolve the Gecko - error without the workaround.

Hello, I've encountered the same problem. However, after trying "emerge mozilla-firefox", portage told me to re-emerge pango with X-useflag, which I did, and apperantly the libpangoxft-library apperaed in /usr/lib
